Currently, young people are the ones who use TikTok the most, according to the data of a study.
Until August 2021, ILO data reveals that one million young people between the ages of 20 and 29 were still unemployed in Mexico.
During the third quarter of 2022, the unemployed population was two million people, according to INEGI.
A video posted on TikTok has helped a Coppel salesperson reveal his weekly salary, making it clear that social networks have definitely changed the way young people interact today.
Undoubtedly, 2023 began, compared to 2022, in the midst of a scenario where optimism has gone down, either due to the effects, some still visible, of Covid-19 and the crisis currently being experienced in several countries due to inflation and its consequent rise in prices.
Under this framework, it is well known that the arrival of the pandemic was a severe blow, mainly for young people, many of whom, due to the health emergency, lost their jobs and/or stopped studying.
Until August 2021, data from the International Labor Organization (ILO) reveal that one million young people between 20 and 29 years old They continued to be unemployed in Mexico, this being the population with the highest number of unemployed due to Covid-19.
On the other hand, information from National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) announces that, during the third quarter of 2022, the unemployed population was two million people. The corresponding Unemployment Rate was 3.4 percent of the Economically Active Population, a figure lower than that of the same period a year earlier (4.2 percent).
From this perspective, it is clear that, currently, unemployment is one of the biggest concerns among young people, especially in a post-pandemic period in which the unemployment rate is even higher.
