What is it?
Young people state clearly that they are in distress, with limited access to work opportunities, real mental health challenges, and a lack of hope for their present and future. They tell us that our responses are failing them. The report presents the findings of a collaboration between YMCA, the oldest and one of the largest youth empowerment organisations in the world, leading professional services firm Deloitte Australia, and world-renowned cloud-based platform ServiceNow.
HIGHLIGHTS
- 4 in 10 young people do not have the right skills, qualifications or experiences to enter into work or start up a business
- Young people’s work and wellbeing continue to be impacted by four Cs: Covid, conflict, climate change and the cost of living
- Young people aspire to do ‘Meaningful Work’, with safeguards, enriching and empowering work experiences, that bolster their skills and prospects, as well as contribute to a wider sense of purpose and impact on society.
