It has been in the news lately that throughout the countries of Europe the unemployment levels for young people (think 25ish and under) have been about 30% (40% in Spain, where protest are happening as this post is written because of this). It's being blamed in most part on the recession, but I think the real cause is that education that young people get is not in demand, and since they have no experience in working either, they're effectively useless to businesses.
So the lesson is the one we here have known for a while: being a good student and finishing school and then merrily looking for a job is worth squat, there are NO guaranties a secure living. This is a lesson many a Europe's young are hopefully learning right now.
The other problem is that when you have so much people with a) no income (so their livelihood is threatened) and b) a lot of free time on their hands, well, that's a recipe for social disorder at best, war at worst. So this needs to be solved as soon as possible.
Well, in my opinion, when you look at history, you notice that problems and situations as these have rarely been solved by governments, and usually by creative entrepreneurs, so my question to you all is: How can a business turn this problem into an opportunity? There are millions of young, inexperienced people in need of work. Because of high supply, they're a relatively cheap workforce, too. There are, as ever, needs on the marketplace. How would you put these two together?
