Students looking for summer work are struggling to land roles, as there's enormous competition for entry-level roles. Retail NZ says businesses are seeing a 'much higher calibre' of potential applicants looking for jobs. Swivel Careers founder Kate Ross says even people with full qualifications are finding it tough to land the right roles. "There's just not enough work out there right now. The economy has been slow all year - the opportunities, even for retail and hospitality, that's all slowed down and that's generally where students out of school get their weekends in there."

Project 2025 is a policy agenda put forward by conservative organizations in the United States, aiming to influence future governmental frameworks. Among the many proposals outlined in the document, an attention-grabbing aspect is its stance on youth employment in hazardous jobs.According to page 595 of Project 2025, the initiative controversially proposes a reevaluation of youth labor laws concerning dangerous professions. The document states, “Some young adults show an interest in inherently dangerous jobs.” This statement has sparked debate regarding the moral and ethical implications of permitting minors to engage in hazardous work environments.The proposal seems to underscore a belief that young individuals should have the autonomy to pursue jobs they find appealing, even if these roles come with significant risks. Proponents may argue that this could provide valuable experience, skills, and financial benefits. They could also contend that such opportunities might foster a stronger work ethic and sense of responsibility among youth.However, this perspective is met with criticism from child advocacy groups, labor rights activists, and various public health officials. Critics assert that the relaxation of child labor restrictions in dangerous jobs could lead to increased injury rates among minors. They emphasize the importance of safeguarding youth from exploitative labor practices and maintaining strict regulations to protect their well-being and development.Historically, child labor laws in the United States have evolved to address the exploitation and endangerment of young workers. These laws have been pivotal in reducing child labor-related injuries and ensuring safe working conditions. Opponents of Project 2025's proposal argue that any rollback of these protections would be a regression, undermining decades of progress in child welfare and labor standards.In the context of Project 2025, the proposal for youth engagement in dangerous jobs raises fundamental questions about the balance between individual freedom and the state's duty to protect its younger citizens. It invites a broader discussion about the values that should guide labor policy and the extent to which the government should intervene in protecting minors from potential workplace hazards.As the future unfolds, the debate surrounding this aspect of Project 2025 will likely continue to polarize opinions, with discussions about youth labor laws remaining a critical issue in the broader discourse on employment rights and safety regulations. The outcome of this debate could significantly influence legislative decisions and shape the landscape of youth employment in the years leading up to and beyond 2025.

There are concerns over employers making young people work during school hours. James Cook High School principal Grant McMillan says most employers are helpful and work with the school. But he says some fast food places and construction sites make kids ditch school for work. "Sadly, there are a small group of employers who tend to exploit young people by ensuring that the employer's needs are met before the young person's school - or other needs - are met."

The biggest dream/ problem or the confusion amongst growing teens is Career. A large population of Indian Youth aims to build careers in the armed forces and directly/indirectly I was also a part of it. One of the biggest differentiators between the armed forces career and corporate is that the armed forces career is time-bound in many aspects like you can join defense in a particular age band and have to retire at a certain age. While armed forces open the door for employment and, the youth protects our country outside and inside; one of the biggest concerns is the youth does not contribute to the economy directly. For example, almost 1.5 million super talented people who serve the armed forces, if become the entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, politicians, etc. may boost the economy significantly. I personally know several amazing talents who have served Indian Armed Forces through a short service commission and are now contributing to the economy significantly. But, this facility wasn't available to the junior talents until now. Fortunately, there is a great scheme by the Indian government to employ, train and enable youth to become more productive and self-reliant. But, there is a lot of confusion around it that needs clarity. To address this lack of clarity, I have Capt. Shashank Shandilya with me on the show today who simplified several aspects for the benefit of our youth. Do listen to this episode and share with the youth who are willing to contribute to the country and economy. I'll see you soon. Jai Hind Vivek

Last week, some pretty transphobic comments surfaced from NSW Liberal candidate Katherine Deves. Before being selected to run in the Sydney seat of Warringah, she'd been campaigning to ban transgender women from sport. And while she's now apologised for those comments, it's causing a big split in the Liberal party - between those who want her dropped, and those sticking by her selection (the PM Scott Morrison). But how's this affecting people in the trans community? Plus, what if it was the government's responsibility to find young people a job or traineeship? It's a scheme that actually exists in other parts of the world, and now there's calls to introduce it in Australia. And a whole lot's been happening in the war in Ukraine over the weekend - we get an update on it all.

Peggy Dulany is Chair and Founder of Synergos, a global organization helping solve complex issues around the world by advancing bridging leadership, which builds trust and collective action. Listen to Peggy share how personal vulnerability is key for leaders to tackle some of the world’s most intractable problems. She believes that philanthropy is not just about money; it is also about connections, influence and skills. There is value in bringing ideas together, as well as people, and creating safe spaces for individuals to bring their full selves out into the world. She shares examples of how Synergos is doing this with philanthropists and in communities around the globe. Peggy Dulany is Chair of Synergos, a global organization helping solve complex issues around the world by advancing bridging leadership, which builds trust and collective action. Drawing from her experience living and working in Rio de Janeiro as a young woman, she realized that the people most affected by adverse living conditions also have the greatest energy and motivation to solve their problems. The resources they lack are connections to the economic and political realms where necessary changes can affect whole communities. Peggy founded Synergos in 1986 to promote trust and collaboration among grassroots groups and government or business leaders and organizations, people who otherwise would not have access to each other, so that they can develop long-term relationships and forge new paths in overcoming poverty. In 2001, she co-founded Synergos’ Global Philanthropists Circle with her father, David Rockefeller, to support philanthropic families in using this approach. Her career has included heading a public high school program for drop-outs and consulting with the United Nations and the Ford Foundation on health care and family planning, and with the National Endowment for the Arts on nonprofit management and planning. She was Senior Vice President of the New York City Partnership, where she headed the Youth Employment, Education, and Community Affairs programs. Peggy is an honor graduate of Radcliffe College and holds a Doctorate in Education from Harvard University. She has sat on over thirty nonprofit and corporate boards including Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and the Africa-America Institute, among others. She runs two socially responsible businesses: a grass-fed beef and guest ranch in Montana and an ecotourism operation in Namibia. Through Synergos, she also guides wilderness retreats that offer participants a safe space in which to reflect on their deepest purpose in life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
