Abstract
From the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were widespread concerns about young people’s labour market prospects. The COVID-19 youth economic activity and health monitorNote (YEAH) project at University College London (UCL) in collaboration with Statistics Canada and other institutes in Europe aimed to shed light in this area by examining the pandemic’s impacts on the dynamics of youth employment and well-being. Indeed, very few countries managed to avoid a hit to their economy or young people’s employment in the wake of COVID-19. The economic fallout from the pandemic has been as global as the health crisis itself. This spotlight article shows that despite economic and institutional differencesNote, youth unemploymentNote figures in Canada, Germany, Ireland, and the United Kingdom (UK) initially rose during the COVID-19 pandemic with peak levels in the summer of 2020, but have recovered since then.
