The Struggle for Toronto's Youth in the Job Market
A recent report highlights the significant barriers that young people in Toronto face when trying to enter the workforce. Discrimination and systemic obstacles, such as inadequate access to public transit, are among the top challenges.
Key Challenges Identified
- Discrimination: Many young job seekers report facing bias based on age, race, or lack of experience.
- Transportation Issues: Poor access to reliable transit limits job opportunities for those without personal vehicles.
- Lack of Experience: Employers often require experience, creating a catch-22 for newcomers to the job market.
What Can Be Done?
Addressing these issues requires community and governmental action to create more inclusive hiring practices and improve infrastructure to support young workers.
