The "Decent Work, Brighter Futures" Talk Series is a 4-part global discussion hosted by YouthForesight, in collaboration with the TASC Platform of the Graduate Institute, to explore youth employment trends, challenges, and aspirations. This intergenerational series brings together Gen Z and Gen X voices to reflect on the evolution of youth employment challenges since the ILO’s first Global Employment Trends for Youth (GET for Youth) report 20 years ago, while examining commonalities and differences in their experiences.
This third event in the series will focus on the European region. It will highlight key findings from the GET for Youth report, addressing regional youth employment trends, sources of youth anxiety, and how aspirations regarding labor market transitions have evolved over the past 20 years. The event will explore how support measures and career opportunities have shifted over time.
