Forgotten Generation

Some interesting new research from the National Youth Council of Ireland has examined the current difficulties faced by young unemployed people in Ireland. Key findings include:

- 70% agreed that is likely they will emigrate in the next 12 months.

- 90% agreed that being unemployed has a negative effect on my sense of wellbeing.

- Only 32% awarded a mid-point satisfaction with their meeting with Social Welfare.

- Half of the respondents rated the quality of the information or support provided with a Job Facilitator at Social Welfare as unsatisfactory to poor.
