The recent report on youth employment rates in special and metropolitan cities reveals a concerning trend: a decline in job opportunities for young people. As of July 2023, the employment rate for youth aged 15 to 29 has dropped to 58.8%, a slight decrease from previous years. This decline raises questions about the effectiveness of current employment policies and the overall economic landscape for younger generations. The report highlights that while there are improvements in certain sectors, the overall youth employment situation remains precarious.
