[News] The professional life of young people, disproportionately affected by the COVID crisis. 'Restriction Generation' Appears

[Mindsphere.]

 

The young generation is disproportionately affected by the coronavirus crisis and could become what the report calls a "generation of restrictions", the International Labor Organization said in a new report, quoted by the BBC, quoted by Mediafax

The report shows that young women have been hit hardest by rising unemployment. 

 

Young people have been affected by what the report calls a "triple shock".

The virus destroys jobs, disrupts education and training and puts obstacles in the way of those who want to start work or change jobs.

One in five workers has stopped working since the beginning of the pandemic.

Among those who remained at work, working time fell by almost a quarter.

Before the crisis, more than 40% of young people worked in sectors that are now severely affected, such as tourism, food services and retail.

Three-quarters of young people worked without a contract and therefore had minimal protection in the event of job loss. In Africa, their percentage is higher than 90%.

IOM says that education and training, including "workplace" programs, have been severely disrupted.

Much of the training is now done remotely online, but IOM says few low-income countries have made the transition.

The agency calls for government intervention to ensure employment and training of young people in low- and middle-income countries.
