Globalization's unwanted children -- mellenials and young Gen Y-ers in USA and Europe.
University of London professor Guy Standing has created a new term for young people in the developed world who have no job security and/or are working at jobs far below their educational levels and skills. They are called "the precariat." It started with factory jobs in the Reagan years...the trend of outsourcing production to the 3rd. World. In recent years very few jobs are safe fro this -- including high-skilled technical jobs. Young people are teh main victims of this because they are told to get a good education to get a good job, then they find there are few of these jobs available. They wind up rejected by society, living with parents and unable to find a place, get married and start families.
Why so little attention to the plight of the young????
