This is how I would address youth unemployment.
A big problem for the youth of today, is that Generation Y (the youngest working age citizens) are a large generation with vast numbers of people...
And so is the Baby boomers, who are now well past their working years, plenty of them are now in their 70s and still working, past retirement... hogging up the job market.
That needs to come to an end, in my opinion.
There are laws against child labor, there should also be a law against Elderly labor too.
When a person reaches age 65... that person's working years should be declared over, and be required to retire from the workforce, under court order (if necessary).
And if the court has to force a person to retire, they don't get their retirement benefits either, on top of not being allowed to work.
And businesses should be fined $5,000 a day, for each day that a person over the age of 65 is working past retirement... to make it utterly uneconomical to hire elderly people.
That would open up the market for working age people.
Experience has its place, and so does the job market, and opportunity, and modernity and change with the times.
