More than 3 million young people aged 15-24 in South Africa are not in employment, education, or training (NEET). They have fallen through the cracks, shut out of learning and earning prospects because they haven’t completed matric, or don’t have post-school qualifications or general work experience. This lack of opportunity has a devastating effect: continued unemployment leads to financial hardship, worsening mental health, exposure to crime and violence and social isolation, both in their community and wider society.

Vishaka Priyan is a junior at Catlin Gabel, a private school in Portland.   She doesn’t have personal experience with foster care. But she came across a group called Project 48 that helps kids in the first 48 hours after they enter the child welfare system. And as she heard stories about the trauma and economic challenges they face in care and after, she wanted to do something that would both support them and help them develop self-sufficiency. That’s why Priyan says she decided to research incentives for businesses to employ youth in the child welfare system or who were aging out of it. The result of her self-assigned project was a bill that is making its way through the Oregon state legislature. Priyan plans to testify for the bill once it gets a hearing. She joins us to share more.

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."
