Young people are speaking. Time to listen.<\/p>

A study about the future has already arrived.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWe work, but we don\u2019t live.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re not asking for everything \u2014 just for what should be a given.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s not that we can\u2019t endure. It\u2019s that it\u2019s not worth it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

These aren\u2019t slogans from a manifesto. They\u2019re real quotes from the nationwide qualitative study \u201cYouth and Work\u201d,<\/strong> conducted by QED with participants aged 18\u201335. They didn\u2019t speak in theory \u2014 they spoke about their present, and about a future that feels increasingly hypothetical.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

We listened. And what we heard is far from quiet.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

For the new generation, work isn\u2019t just a means of survival. It\u2019s a point of friction, questioning, and redefinition.<\/p>

Young people are no longer asking, \u201cWhat job should I do?\u201d but rather, \u201cOn what terms, in what context, and at what cost?\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Attitudes toward work vary significantly based on sector, experience, and available avenues for expression:<\/strong><\/p>

  • Tourism & Hospitality: exhaustion without prospects<\/li>
  • Retail: lack of autonomy and underutilization of skills<\/li>
  • Creative industries: passion for the work, but extreme precarity<\/li>
  • Tech: opportunities \u2014 under certain conditions of dignity<\/li>
  • Public sector: stability, but also stagnation<\/li><\/ul>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    What young people want is simple:<\/strong><\/p>

    Work environments that see them as human beings \u2014 not just roles.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Work is no longer the center of young people\u2019s identity. It\u2019s one of many domains where they want to be useful \u2014 not submissive.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Young people:<\/strong><\/p>

    • seek flexibility, not chaos<\/li>
    • ask for boundaries, not laxity<\/li>
    • demand clarity of roles, not assembly lines with human faces<\/li>
    • And above all: they\u2019re no longer persuaded by employer branding.<\/li>
    • They want to experience it for themselves.<\/li><\/ul>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      The \u201cYouth & Work\u201d is a tool for understanding and redesign \u2014 not just statistics, but stories. Not just numbers, but warning signs. Not just trends, but the new reality.<\/p>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      QED has designed an in-depth workshop specifically for HR, Management, Communications, and Innovation teams who want to:<\/strong><\/p>

      • understand the new generation beyond stereotypes<\/li>
      • extract actionable insights<\/li>
      • re-evaluate their policies (onboarding, mentoring, leadership)<\/li><\/ul>

        The workshop is experiential and tailored to each sector or organizational level.<\/p>

        \u00a0<\/p>

        The question is not \u201cWhat do young people want?\u201d<\/p>

        The question is: Are we ready to listen \u2014 and change?<\/p>

        \u00a0<\/p>

        Young people are speaking.<\/p>

        It\u2019s time to listen to them\u2014 and take the next step together.<\/p>

        \u00a0<\/p>

        Change doesn\u2019t start with trends.<\/p>

        It starts with listening \u2014 and acting.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
