Why We Need Innovation to get Young People Into Work
Abstract
Why we need innovationFew issues have as acute a need for innovation as the jobs market for young people. Around the world, unemployment levels have remained very high for young people since the start of the global recession, although in many countries the increase in youth unemployment started before this. Underemployment also means many young people are working fewer hours than they would like, whilst insecure employment can often mean regularly moving between periods of work and unemployment. There are now fears of a ‘lost generation’ of young people – shut out of the labour market, increasingly disconnected from work and learning and ‘scarred’ throughout the course of their working lives due to the experience of unemployment when young.
