By 2020, substantially reduce the proportion of youth not in employment, education or training
Lay person tasks
- Wear a covid mask at all times in public. Many young people are becoming disabled by covid 19. 1 in 10 infections results in long covid.
- Many young people are in poverty. Poverty is very difficult to overcome, and it doesn't happen without help from others. If you know a young person who is struggling, help them out. Find out what career options they are interested in and send them opportunities.
- Many young people feel hopeless about climate change. Complete lay person tasks for climate change.
- Many young people feel hopeless about economic conditions. Financial literary combined with low-income programs (for loans, etc.) can sometimes offer "loop holes" where people can find financial stability. If you know of loop holes such as this, let them know.
- Be kind to your young coworkers. Many have healthy standards and will quit if you treat them wrong.
