Youth employment refers to the participation of young people, typically aged 15 to 24, in the workforce. This can include part-time or full-time jobs, internships, and apprenticeships. Youth employment is important for gaining work experience, developing skills, and earning income, which can contribute to personal and professional growth. Challenges in youth employment often include high competition for jobs, lack of experience, and economic factors that can limit job availability. Programs and initiatives aimed at improving youth employment can help by providing training, mentorship, and resources to support young individuals in finding and maintaining jobs.
