It's definitely the case that millennials and youth are particularly vulnerable to the kind of exploitation and extreme insecurity that we see rising around the margins of the labour market in particular. There has been discussion about workers wanting flexibility. I think that may be the case in many instances, but no one signs up for insecurity. They may want flexibility and autonomy and challenges but not the insecurity and exploitation that come along with it. There have been interesting international studies of young workers that show surprising—in the context of this discussion—support for job security or employment security.
I think that young workers do have a real interest and a real desire for the same kinds of opportunities and investments and entitlements as those found in standard employment, that stably employed and secure and well-paid employees of our generation have enjoyed.
I think that young workers are particularly vulnerable as new entrants to the labour force, but they want many of the things that their predecessors had.
