As Brussels threatens the Italian government with disciplinary proceedings if it does not reduce its public debt, we bring you a report on Italy's youth, which has been hit hard by the economic crisis. Due to a lack of job prospects, many educated young Italians feel they have no choice but to leave the country and try their luck elsewhere in Europe. Our correspondents in Italy report.

It's not just in Italy. Millennials everywhere are facing the same problems.
not only a millennial's problem . Even lads in their 40s are having the same issue
@Tanmoy Debnath and in place like Canada they end up working as uber drivers, gas station attendants...but back home...they get to say...I live in North America. What has the world come to.
It's gonna get worse because of robotics automation. Jobs are going away, people need to stop having kids.
@@WaveRider1989 People need to stop depending on systems like the ones we have. We could have a whole different structure where everyone gets a chance in life.
@Tanmoy Debnath there’s not enough entrepreneurship in india
This is a trend in 21st Century's youth. Unlike the past, there a thousands of universities and colleges and it's much easier to get educated. But when everyone's "educated", the standards are set up too high.
Well, it's not that hard to explain since there is also way less demand for manual labour because it's almost all automated. Most rich countries' economies are based on services for the majority.
@@SonKunSama Theyre only based on services because they import everything from Asia
Yeh. Everyone is educated is a problem.
It is very very hard to outstand among educated people.
@@SonKunSama Objectively wrong. Colleges have risen the standards because they can't adapt to the market due to ridiculius regulation.
@@cartoonhanks1708 oh just desperate to inject an Americanism in the discussion.
This is why Germany's dual-education-system is so valuable. Instead of doing your diploma you instantly start working at a corporate + go to a specialized school. After completion you your're often offered a job and stay
Problem with that is the payment - of course you get trained well. I was a trained car painter at a co-company of Audi, the payment was SHIT and there is no other option let alone the opportunity to earn more. This system is destined to fail, as good as it trains the youth, it only leads to poverty now. What is it good for to be the best carpenter in the world if the only option for a fair wage is either make your own company or move to Canada.
There are Problems everywhere but germany fucks up so bad atm its insane. We even got a "labor-crisis" because almost no young person wants to become Handyman or Nurse/Caretaker just because of the fucked up wages.
Now I studied, get more than I ever dreamed off as car painter and its still a struggle.
@@AB-di1nr I disagree. I think the system needs to be reformed. You could quite easily go from the type of manual labor training that they do now to teach the kids how to program, how to use CAD software, business training etc. The idea is very good but it is slightly aged in terms of what it trains people to do. Going to the university to do 95 % of all engineering jobs is a waste of time. I say that as a software engineer myself. University really ought to be for the 2 % of the population with an IQ above 130 who should be spending their life doing research that benefits all of society. Right now it's just an extended high school that costs the tax payers billions of Euros every year.
@@AB-di1nr i actually am this "handyman" and enjoy it alot! But it's hard for me to come up with a job outside the 2 fields you mentioned. What did you study after car painter for example?
@@johanneswestman935 You disagree and then tell me why I am right - do you realize that?
The system is build on stagnation, if you train everyone to go further the ones "left behind" will never be payed fair.
Not everyone needs or should be in a academic job, not everyone wants to study and still everyone wants to have living quality to a certain point.
Our socitiety NEEDS all jobs, what is it good for to tell, lets say a potential car painter like me the tools to make more money but expect me to stay in a shit payed job with a shit day to day live?
You have to pay the lowest end more than the easy to reach other spots.
Why would any sane person work shifts and put himself in health-danger if he earns more with some shitty nonsense study??
I studied only to make money - I dont give a shit about "academic research" its a tool to get education - as for most people now at universitys.
If I could have had the same job without studying I wouldn't have studied.
The solution to your "problem" is pay the workers more. Not even a single one of my classmates REALLY gave a shit about Uni - its plain about the money.

Italians are used to leaving their country to pursue opportunities elsewhere. They’ve been doing it for generations. They've even been doing it longer than the Polish.

Same problem in Iran .Instead of sending work force to Germany, how about importing some German politicians and industry managers to Italy and kicking out useless politicians ?
I'd prefer to become a satellite state of Germany then 1 more year of this incompetence, but the average Italian would say that I'm a "traitor" (lol).
For us, the only solution is for the EU to become a federal state, to remove corrupted politicians and their clientelism we need a higher power.
We put those politicians in power, not someone else. It's a cultural issue, not (only) a political one.

Hello marry rose are you from italy?
I was about to go to Italy to find a new job. Mission ABORTED.
Herny Ferrari there's plenty of Jobs. Unfortunatley not everywhere
Let's not forget that Italy is the third-largest manufacturing country in the EU and part of the G7. I've never had any problem finding a job as an engineer in Italy. Recruiters used to contact me and not the opposite. The same problems highlighted in this video are in some parts of France too. The video showed some villages nearby Naples and the South, which always had problems. Moreover, it is quite popular to see French engineers in Germany/Netherlands/UK /Switzerland, but this channel is pointing against Italy only and gives a wrong picture of the country. Of course, we do have problems related to the job occupation of young generations and there's nothing to hide there, but it is not black and white as the message they're trying to send with these videos. Just look at some other videos from them like "why Italian graduates are choosing life on the farm". It is not that an entire generation is going back to the countryside, but they clearly want to discredit the picture of a country and show it as underdeveloped.
@@pizzaguy8484 hey mate, I’m planing on doing a masters in finance on Bocconi and perhaps staying o Italy to work on banking, do you suggest it? Or is it Noh recommendable at all (according to this video)
@@peterhaberlehner6749 It is a top international Biz school. Italians see it as an elite school and, with all the respect for the people in this video, I'm 100% sure none of them nearly attended something like Bocconi or Polimi/Polito. All my friends from Bocconi found a job in few months and never struggled to find internships while studying. It is pretty international so if you won't find a job in Italy because you don't speak Italian, you’ll still have a very well-recognized degree in Europe.
@@peterhaberlehner6749 I live 5 tram stops from bocconi University in Milan
This started in the 90s when all kids are pushed into college. Now there are no jobs for them. It's a worldwide problem
It depends on the major . But Yeah it is a problem and we need to educate our kids on picking a good major because you’re investing in your career and you better expect a good pay out 1-2 years after you graduate.
Know the job market you want to invest into.
Not to mention the fact that trade schools are an option and are in my opinion just as good as university . I feel that too many people look down on them but they are much cheaper and are a more economic option for just a simple job you want to do. Plus they are less chaotic and more neutral than a college or university and I’m saying that from experience.
We need to tell our kids they have options besides high cost university like community college or trade schools. They try to nickel and dime you for everything.
And I think the reason people weren’t realizing this is because many parents never went or had to go to college before so they wouldn’t know what it costs or what would happen if the masses tried to all get in the game at once in the 90s.
where are the jobs for those who did not push into the college?
@@garybrown2039 Kids weren't told any of that, they were told if they didn't get a 4 year degree, they wouldn't get a good job. Period. The same thing is being told to girls now, get into coding.... until the market is so saturated no one can get jobs in that either.
Actually the problem in italy is that they are being pushed to useless major like "lettere antiche" where they study ancient greek and latin, and 40% of the italian school population studies latin more than 7 hours per week, and they keep saying that latin it's the best thing you can study and they talk about how it opens your mind and a lot of young kids fall for that, and then when they are 23 they realize they don't have a place in the job market and they are forced to emigrate to other countries to find entry level jobs
Fatcs everyone wants to business man, engineer or doctor now. Noone wants to be things like tailor, barber etc
"We are all depressed" that is very true.
Here in Iraq you can easily find young people holding master and even PHD degrees in Computer Sciences and Engineering yet their biggest hope is to find a work in a supermarket or a fast food restaurant. imagine this happening in a "democratic" country which is considered third largest oil producer in the world.
I am sorry to hear about that. There are so many young educated people who would be able to perform well in a job, but instead they are frustrated and out of work. It's not fair for them.
Same here in my country Nigeria
Arber UN No offence but Iraq (or Middle East) has more STEM graduates than North America which in theory should give the the upper hand
@Free Like Water very weird I though the job market in U.S very rich and flourishing. especially for CS and IT fields
Arber UN cute guy
Not just Italy, it's happening everywhere
Its the same in the UK. Especially, London.
That's the scheme swept under the rug by means of the plandemic. It's a deliberate change in the socioeconomic system.
No. Not happening here in Denmark.

@@NisseOhlsen well, yeah, you're the ones importing those workers
“Recommended for you”
Me, a high school student: *thanks I hate it*
My first job was more due to a recommendation than related to my cv. Of course study counts, more as a requirement, but not as guarantee you'll get the job. Working well in many team projects and different places and making connections helps a lot.
I feel sorry for the younger generation, when I finished college there was a job shortage. One time I applied for a job and there were 270 candidates for the 2nd route, but even then there where still opportunities. Today everything seems more difficult.
As a high schooler, I’m going to the trades
@@imcarlosjr4898 it feels like it's easier to get a job with trade school rather than having a 4 year bachelor degree.

Jobless Italians look more elegant than American CEOs😂
@r g It’s not about focusing on the right or wrong. When the economy in a certain country is bad almost every one suffers, no matter how educated or talented they are. Besides, you can spend little and look elegant, and Italians know how to do that.
not really
@r g you are talking like all italians study art and study how to dress well. We don't do that, we don't need to study how to dress, and certainly we don't study art for 2 decades. I studied a bit of art in high school, now I'm at univerisity to get a degrees in Computer Science. You know nothing about other countries, so shut your mouth
@r g triggered so much from a joke and went on a rant to portrait Italians as uneducated people who know only how to dress.. :D good job man keep it up
In American culture, gays and women are the ones who are obsessed with clothing and fashion. Not men, I understand Europe may be different....
Unemployment is an international problem, especially with the new covid pandemic restrictions , it has already increased a lot.
Yes since the Plan-demic governments have been controlling their population more than ever before...
Nice pun
I have a degree and I am unemployed. I now have to go and do a trade in order to get some sort of job. Having a degree doesn't mean that you will automatically get a job.
Tobore Yalaju what is your degree? I bet you have a degree that translate to nothing or you’re just plain lazy.
Daniel Purdy typical American. Always acting like degrees in America have the same value in other countries. Maybe there’s a thing called a weak labour market and strong competition? Stop acting like you understand how the labour market works
What degree? Its not the degree its you mate
I didn't have any degree, but I made more that most of graduate from college. I never look for someone to give a job, but I always looked at the opportunity around me that was business or investments. I don't understand why people coming out of colleges or universities, that think of themselves as smart individuals are seeking someone to give them a job instead of creating their own opportunities.
@@asharohx, it takes all sorts to make a world. Ask big companies, and they explain that they want people who can thrive as a small part of a big organisation. If everyone was trying to create a business in their parent's back room, Italy would end up with many more small underpowered companies, much as it is today. Still, great to hear that you are having success this way.
I'm Italian and that's so sad I can't even watch it
Here to bro I am from India I completed my bachelor's degree in Agriculture still I struggle to get a job......from last 3 months there is 7 vacancies and almost 500 Applicant's...so sad...💔
It was soul-crushing for me to watch. I'm American and I've always dreamt of living in Italy because of my heritage (which is really important to me), and seeing stuff like this nearly crushes those dreams.
@Willie Fungo It's just sad for me to hear that young educated Italians feel like they have to leave Italy for job opportunities, because I plan to bring my bloodline back to its native soil by moving to Italy and settling down. Nothing will change my mind about moving to Italy because I believe I was born to return my lineage back to its motherland and to contribute everything I can to better the Italian state, even if financially it's not the best decision. Although I think this was mainly just in Calabria, which is unfortunately not doing to good, however based upon what I've read other places in Italy like Rome or Florence, the job opportunities are particularly good. especially in the automotive industry and to my knowledge, Italy as a whole has been a very popular destination for foreigners seeking to expand their careers within the past couple of years.
@@rickynoodles2816 you are totally right. It's only the south Italy that isn't doing good. But the northern part is doing actually pretty well, north and south Italy are like two different countries.

We have the same problem in Spain
No we don’t have a problem in Spain with the youth not getting jobs. We have a problem with the Youth not having the correct education, this is a very big difference.
An art history degree is useless, a degree in romantic languages is useless. The only things these qualify you for is making coffee at a bar unless you have family in a museum who can get you a job. In Barcelona there are always jobs for those with medical, technical, science, mechanical educations. We have many many foreigners working for the Barcelona city as civil engineers because we don’t have enough youth here getting that kind of education. The health system is hiring foreigners daily all over Spain.
There is jobs. The youth simply don’t want them or to study for them.
America has the same demand for health care workers.
@Alfredo Barragan 502 Japan has 0% unemployment!!!
Not to mention their Marxist indoctrination.
Indonesia need english native speakers from english speaking countries
Hi, I'm a 24 yo Italian with a Master degree. I know the Italian situation very well. The biggest problem here is that there is a mismatch between university education and the job offers. Too many young Italians graduate in humanistic studies that are not requested by the job market. At the same time we have a LOT of open positions for engineering and STEM in general. The result is: high unemployment rate among graduated people and low skilled workers and at the same time a lack of workforce for technical professions.
@John Singer I can agree with you on the debt haircut but for the rest I strongly disagree. Euro reinforced the single market and boosted the exports for Italy. The economic stagnation is due to numerous other factors among which there is low competitiveness of Italian companies, lack of credit for companies and startups, lack of digitalization, excess of bureaucracy and many other things. Leaving the EU and the single currency would be a tragedy for Italy, the ECB saved Italy from default with quantitative easing.
@@tdsdesa haha....such bs. Did you graduate from Bocconi to speak like that? The EU is destroying Italy's future, enjoy your "Super Mario" and all the rest that's coming!

Not much better here in the US. 25-30 year olds with STEM masters degrees can't get entry level jobs. Its honestly a mystery how people get jobs.
@Marcos It's true and the upcoming automation will make it worse
If this is the condition of a developed country try to imagine what's happening in a underdeveloped country.....
Italy is not that developed
underdeveloped countries are doing just fine, because:
A: they can't afford automation technologies yet so they have to hire actual human beings to work in their factories and on their farms
B: when there are no jobs available they can just move to countries like italy and undercut the locals

The government is responsible for all the lock downs and restrictions that caused so many small businesses to permanently close, people have gone bankrupt and lost their livelihoods.
And say even if you do manage to keep your business the government demands taxes, taxes are the biggest boat anchor on the economy, it punishes success.

For baby boomers, getting a degree was a magical route to get a "high" paying jobs. And they taught the future generation the same and now we are all stuck with our degrees but no jobs around. Baby boomers could easily get a job with a college diploma, could by two houses, could go on vacations, could afford to travel once a year or two. I can't even afford to leave my parents house, let alone dream to afford a house of my own. Home ownership is a long gone dream for millennials.
Spot on!!
Very common for young people nowadays throughout the world, most of us are living with our parents and we're getting married later.
All result of the World Order formed after WW2 by filthy greedy Westerners & Freemasons. One of the reasons to make it hard to find jobs was to force the youth towards adult industry.

@Mattia Santangelo
It's important to point out that it's not the phony "pandemic" (=pandemia farlocca) but the insane restrictions which wreaked havoc to the economy.
Lol this is happening in the UK too, except we have nowhere to migrate too. We live with our parents or in shared accommodation while the financial sector reaps the fruit of our labour.
How does the financial sector reap the fruit of your labour?
@@pneron2032 the central banks print money & slash interest rates. This causes the price of assets like a house to go up massively making them unaffordable for millennials. Asset owners i.e. the 1% subsequently become massively wealthy. Meanwhile, the purchasing power of money decreases. The wages earnt through labour are cut & negatively compound every year, making the average person poorer & poorer, and needing to work harder & harder.
The financial sector today adds no value to the economy & doesn't take risks by investing in entrepreneurs. They only lend to speculators who gamble on rising stock & real estate prices. This gamble can never go wrong, and the banks never lose because the speculators know the Fed will bail them out with newly printed money when the market crashes. Thus, all profits are privatised, and all losses socialised. The rich get much richer through theft of labour from the productive portions of society, while contributing nothing of material value back. Like a parasite.
What about Germany? Oh, yeah, you're now "sovereign" and need work visa, lol
@@craig5261 Good Marxist rhetoric. You obviously paid attention at school. The artificial interest rates and money printing are done by the government: the Fed is not part of the "financial sector". Millennials want it all: free healthcare, free college, "debt forgiveness", free everything but they don't want the *consequences* of fiscal irresponsibility. You don't want the gold standard and balanced budgets back. You love government discretionary spending: as long as it is being spent on you. So, pick your side. Not just "the 1%" have assets - anyone saving for a pension has assets, which is most people in work.
@@craig5261 Well said mate.

Young Italians having trouble finding work while the French and German run EU advocate for greater immigration of young African and Middle Eastern workers. Who does this policy benefit?
You do realise that immigrants aren't taking high skilled jobs that educated youth would take? You can hardly blame the immigrants or the Germans on this one, italys economy has been in the toilet for decades
downwithjedward The video used the example of youths educated for jobs that aren’t available. Their only option, if they want to stay in their homeland, is to work in less skilled professions. Unfortunately for them, wages have been driven down by immigrants. Who does this benefit?
I'm an african with 2 master's degrees in engineering (avionics and integrated systems), the second from France where I live and i have no job and I'm homeless. I was forced to live in "colocation" with a man who is harassing me and i don't know what to do. So people like you should really shut up. Africans and arabs here, especially africans clean the streets and wash old people, which are jobs that you people don't want to do. If you're african and wish for a little better, you have 0.1 percent chance of succeeding. Most of my classmates who are not black have found jobs or PhDs and i was one of the best in my class in term of marks and i never repeated any module, but can't find anything!
@@sabcam2000 Although I do see your point of few, you have to consider that the fact that 'People do not want to wash old people' need to be a bit more nuanced. You see, those jobs are poorly paid and nobody wants to do the job, meaning the pay should rise. However, they rather open the gates for immigrants then to rise the pay. This phenonmonon can be seen in different sectors.
@@St3v3NWL Exactly.
While a subject like *_"Art History"_* may be your passion, you *_really need_* to take into consideration the job prospects. Most people cannot afford to go to college for pure enlightenment in esoteric subject matters with employment opportunities that are murky at best.
That logic is more applicable in the US where education is expensive and weighed down by debt. Not so in Europe. You can study whatever you want and should especially if the institution is subsidized. Education and deepening knowledge in university setting should be an experience that overall forms your mind. Unless it's STEM or trade, most of what we study will rarely if never have a direct market for it anyway, but will leave you competent and well-rounded anyway. I've always seen education and specialized schooling (directed towards market needs) as separate. One shapes you as a human; the other shapes you for labor.

Then in that case id say why is our system and our life purpose oriented around job prospects and money making? Wouldnt it be much better and efficient of a world if we could organize jobs based on what people actually want to do instead of forcing people in "job slavery". I know Im probably coming off as unrealistic but I think there is actual merit in critiquing these sorts of institutions and seeing which type of people benefit from the way our society is set up.
What do you expect?!! 30% of Italy are pensioners who receive cushy pensions. These uneducated pensioners are merely retired farmers and retired warehouse workers. Yet the Italian government only cares about senior people and considers the younger more skilled generation as 'cows to milk' in order fund these retired farmers. Young people are important too!!!!
Italy is democratic country and the biggest flaw of democracy is that in order to get to power you need to win majority of the votes
15% of Italy population is -18 so they can't vote
A lot of young people in Italy are migrants who don't vote even if they have citizenship
But there's another important group which is people in their 50's who are about to retire within years and they want their pensions to be payed by the government and are willing to sacrifice the few remaining years of their careers paying other people's pensions just to receive the benefits years later
Add to that the average government in Italy doesn't get reelected so for any winning party the effects of public pensions system and low fertility rates are the future governments problems not theirs
They just want power and authority during the short term

Why staying with parents is such a bad thing?
I am staying with my family having a well paid job for past 9yrs. I am 32yrs old. even after marriage I wish to do the same.
It's a boomer thing. Back when housing wasn't ridiculously expensive it was expected for someone to have their own house when they're in their early twenties and even start families. So living with your parents was seen as someone who didn't do well in their early life. Now things are different but that way of thinking hasn't gone away entirely.
Dude it varies culture to culture. Stop giving dumb examples
I would that but I even have no room in my parent's house, I sleep in the guest room because my parents live in their parent's house with all their married brothers and married nephews. Housing is so expensive even with a job most of us apply to public housing programs and got it after 20 years.
there's cases where due to differences in religion, politics, views on sexuality and gender where people would want that independence more than anything.
i assume you generally see eye to eye with your parents on that. good for you, but that's not always the case.
