Executive summary - Social needs of youth
Report 6 on social needs by population group focuses on five different social segments: children, young adults, senior citizens, women and immigrants.
In report 6.2 we analyze the social needs of young adults:
-
Young adults face serious problems related to employment. The high rate of youth unemployment, insecure jobs and low pay have a detrimental impact on the financial and material wellbeing of this age group, placing them in a poor position relative to the general population.
-
The increase in the cost of purchasing or renting a home, combined with young people’s low income levels, means that they are unable to leave the parental home till a later age. The economic crisis exacerbated these difficulties, raising the percentage of young adults living with their parents.
