Are our schools failing the next generation? Why are so many young people, especially 20- to 30-year-olds, opting out of the workforce? In this hard-hitting episode, we dive deep into the broken education system and the alarming decline in youth employment. From crumbling classrooms to a 14% NEET rate (not in employment, education, or training) for 20- to 24-year-olds, we uncover how these issues signal a broader societal decline. Did you know only 60% of 20- to 30-year-olds without a high school diploma are employed, compared to 88% with a bachelor’s degree? Join us as we explore the causes, consequences, and solutions to these pressing challenges.
🔥 What we cover:
• Why schools are failing: outdated curriculums, teacher shortages, and lack of discipline.
• The youth employment crisis: only 80% of 25- to 34-year-olds are working, with stark racial and educational disparities.
• Solutions to rebuild education and get young people back to work.
