YMCA, World YMCAWhat is it?
Recent research, including the first part of this report series 'Crisis of Opportunity' emphasizes that young people’s personal and professional lives are deeply entwined.
Young people are facing three critical issues at work: unemployment, anxiety, and mental health issues.
HIGHLIGHTS
The Youth Meaningful Work survey, which surveyed over 10,000 young people around the world, identified a number of key barriers preventing young people from accessing and engaging in Meaningful Work.
These key barriers included: Access to the right education and skills, Siloed and fractured support systems that create access to and prepare young people for Meaningful Work, and Distress caused by future economic, environmental, and social factors that could limit the potential of young people.
