2. The issue is that youth find it hard to get
employed.
They do not know where to find the job
They also do not know where to look for jobs.
Some of them are graduates, but still can not
find jobs in their fields.
3. We believe that the youth have the right to
work in our society and be given a chance to
prove themselves in the Canadian market.
The area we chose to support is Scarborough.

people aged 15-29.

work.
The global youth unemployment rate is 12.6%

22. What did we learn?
Most youth find it hard to look for jobs
Not many have done their research about their
chosen field
There are many agencies that help support the youth
in finding their jobs
Many youth don’t have much knowledge of where
to look in search of their career.
Ontario has the highest rate for unemployment in
Canada
Some people don’t have a job because of their lack of
experience
