Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:
Fuelled in part by fears that burdens of the recent recession have disproportionately fallen on youth, the issue of youth unemployment has rekindled signi cant unease with dierent levels of government, communities and the general public. In addition to the most common consequences of unemployment such as nancial hardship and emotional distress, joblessness may also result in the erosion of an individual’s skills and knowledge and increase uncertainty of future labour market prospects. For jobless youth, this aspect of unemployment may particularly be ‘scarring’ as skills and knowledge gained through the educational system may not have appropriate opportunity to crystalize into professional ability. At the aggregated economic level, such an erosion of skills may disadvantage business in their ability to expand and compete; particularly in an environment of increasing global competition

However, only 27% of young people aged 15-24 say they would recommend it to their peers, which shows that more needs to be done to improve the image and attractiveness of vocational educational and training within this crucial age group.
