This is a direct result of the erosion of workers rights and neoliberal policy.

Does that mean that youth are turning to steam?

- Slash funding to postsecondary education, encouraging institutions to bring in international students
- Heavily market immigration opportunities to potential international students
- Act surprised when entry level jobs fill up
President Taco notwithstanding, it can’t have been that surprising.

Extended unemployment periods carry consequences that reach far beyond economic hardship. Young people experiencing prolonged joblessness often face mental health challenges, delayed financial independence, and difficulty establishing career trajectories. These critically missed opportunities also have repercussions for their professional networks and workplace skills.
