The COVID-19 pandemic has had a systematic, deep and disproportionate impact on young people. It has been particularly hard on young women, younger youth and youth in lower-income countries.
The Global Youth and COVID-19 Survey conducted by partners of the Global Initiative on Decent Jobs for Youth finds that the pandemic is inflicting multiple shocks on young people. It is not only destroying their jobs and employment prospects, but also disrupting their education and training and having a serious impact on their mental well-being. This session during the Youth at Heart Forum organised by the Dutch Ministry of Foreig Affairs will feature an interactive conversation with young people about solutions, including youth-led, to the challenges posed by COVID-19 on themselves and their peers.
