Now I'm at my desk, I've returned the favour. This post really interested me and I'm going to pose another conundrum: massive and international youth unemployment. It's what sparked the Arab spring and some of the riots in France and the UK. It's a huge issue in South Africa where our unemployment rate is the highest it's ever been - thanks to the pandemic - and where most of our young people are unemployed. Whether "qualified" or not. IMO this is a recipe for ongoing unrest and disaster. These young ones are fertile ground for populism and the re-emergence of fanatical left- and right-wing movements. And, we're seeing this happen.
The other thing I'm also seeing - here anyway - is that millennials are taking neither the energy of youth nor the value of maturity of experience seriously. Apologies if you're in that category - I do get that it's a generalisation - but it seems to me that the moment one of them gets into a leadership position, they throw out (virtually the baby and the bathwater) and start from scratch. Result: loss of institutional depth, skills and competence. Again, IMO, there is a lot to be said for multi-generational teams and the shared value they can bring. Energy and experience - as long as there's good glue - is a great combination. A digression, but, I think, connected to the broad preoccupations you're discussing.
Never, in my nearly 60 years have I worried more about what's going on in the world.
Rant over.
Good day!
