YE”Me, my Job, and I”-5-11 December 2022, Benicassim, Spain

Dates: 5 -11 December 2022

Place: Benicassim, Spain

About the project:

Employability, unemployment, labor rights, precariousness, vocation, salary, self-employment, remote work, automation… The terms mentioned above are just some of the aspects of the job and you just have to see the attention that is given to them and the discussions that are generated around them to realize the importance that they we grant at the individual and social level. Our work is the main conditioning factor of our quality of life and, in many cases, of our own identity. And despite this, there is far from being an agreement on work. Far from there is a consensus, it is a reality in which numerous types of contracts, working conditions, theoretical models, expectations and public policies that often move in different directions and sometimes found.

Within this complex reality, one of the few issues in which the data leaves no room for doubt is the particularly disadvantaged position of youth in terms of employment. As the European Union recognizes throughout of its Youth Guarantee, young Europeans live with realities as disheartening as an unemployment rate that double that of the general population, overrepresentation in temporary and part-time work modalities, overqualification, low job stability, low wages and difficulties entering the labor market. to these difficult current conditions must be added the growing presence of realities such as automation, which will affect great work experience. European society, and especially youth, is no stranger to this situation. There is a growing interest in debates in around work, with numerous proposals and visions being widely disclosed and discussed by the public general, a trend that has accelerated in 2020 due to the sudden alteration of the work experience for millions of people. In this context, it is essential that young people participate effectively in decision-making in this countryside. Not only because they are the ones in a worse situation, but because they are the ones who are going to live together for longer time with the decisions made.
