Creating concrete solutions for youth un- and under-employment

For decades young workers have faced challenges getting a foothold in the labour market. In recent years, the austerity agenda has magnified these challenges and hit young people in Ontario particularly hard. In April 2013, youth unemployment in Ontario was sitting at 17.1 percent, compared to 6.1 percent for those 25 and over.

While many young people remain un- and under-employed in temporary short-term positions, the conversations needs to continue and concreate solutions need to be made.
