Join YRS in supporting the Youth Fight for Jobs campaign – to fight for better work opportunities and conditions for young workers and students.
Written by Ragavi
As a consequence of the pandemic, we have seen a rise in unemployment. In the wake of this crisis, the disparity between young people, aged 16 to 24 and those above 25, is stark (ONS). Young people have been particularly affected by redundancies and unemployment. Youth Fight for Jobs have taken matters into their own hands and want to see real change in young people’s lives. They work with trade unions to have the youth’s voices heard. They also fight for better opportunities for young people such as well paid apprenticeships and training schemes with confirmed jobs that pay real living wages.
