Youth Jobs in Ireland Stalled | Belfast News

Description

Ireland’s youth employment picture is looking better on paper—but the real story is tougher. Though headline unemployment has dipped since the financial crash, actual job numbers haven’t recovered fully, and participation is falling while older workers step up. The youth unemployment rate now hovers around 12%, above government targets, with many stuck in low-paying gigs that barely cover rising living costs—forcing young people to stay at home with parents. It’s not just about jobs—it’s about quality, stability, and a future where work actually supports independence.
