EYE Online Programme #EYE2020
Participación en el European Youth Event 2020 ¿Cómo podemos evitar que los jóvenes se vean tan afectados como 2008? ¿Cómo podemos utilizar la situación de crisis para preparar mejor y capacitar a los jóvenes para la recuperación? #COVID19
Organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion
Young people are likely to be hit hardest by the new economic recession due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They are usually the first ones to be laid off or see their hours cut, often work in precarious jobs and they are over-represented in sectors ravaged by the pandemic, such as tourism or retail. Many of them are still suffering from the previous economic recession. What lessons can we draw from the previous financial crisis of 2008? How can we avoid that young people are as badly hit as back then? How can we use the crisis situation to better prepare and upskill young people for the recovery?
