Young people all over the world are seriously concerned about the state of politics and education. That information comes from a survey by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD. The study looked at 151 youth organizations from 72 countries. It centered on young people aged 15 to 29. The researchers noted that people between those ages have lived through two worldwide crises the 2008 financial collapse and the coronavirus pandemic. OECD researchers say it is important to learn the effects of the pandemic on younger people. The pandemic, they said, has “affected different age groups differently and…its repercussions will be felt by many for decades to come…” Youth organizations were asked to identify three areas in which young people were finding it most difficult to deal with the effects of COVID-19. The top answers were mental health, education and employment. Other areas of concern were personal relationships, personal wealth and limits on individual freedom. The researchers said the pandemic’s long-term effects on education “remain to be fully observed.” The study added that the crisis has greatly “reduced international student mobility,” widened educational differences across different populations and increased the risk of students ending their education.
