Better future = more friendly labour market for young people

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

The future centred on the young generation of Europe. A better future means for me better chances for young people to develop their potential, give them more chances to gain a new experience.
This topic has a personal important to me: I am 23, a recent graduate of the MA studies (European Public Affairs). I am an enthusiastic and proactive person. Since my MA graduation in the summer 2021, I have struggling to get a full-time job. I have submitted a lot of applications and all failed (despite my profile fit a vacancy requirements and desirable competencies. The major reason behind this problem: according to the recruiters, I don't have "relevant years of experience".
The important point to raise here is: how young people (graduates) can have "relevant years of experience"?
To possess these relevant years of experience, young people need get a chance to gain after graduating their studies.

Das Jahr 2040
The year is 2040 and we live in a time when people have understood that war is not a solution. After the USA and China have proven to the world that they have power, peace reigns. Unfortunately, people can no longer live everywhere without problems due to weather disasters. There are more and more periods of heat and therefore drought. The world is constantly changing.

vivre simplement
In 2040, I'd like us to still be able to live in nature, to still be present, to still be in good health. I'd like my family to be able to continue to live in complete freedom, to maintain the French traditions that we hold so dear, to preserve the heritage that has made our country what it is, and for everyone to be able to live together in complete safety.

Grünes Utopia
In 2040, we will have managed to live sustainably and ecologically without exploiting nature any further. Damaging the environment leads to very high penalties. People have finally realized that humans, animals and the environment only work together - not separately. This is why nature and animal protection has become so important. Animal products are now only consumed and produced in exceptional cases. Animal rights have taken on a high priority. We have also come a long way in terms of technology, so that there are almost no private vehicles any more, but you can get to your destination quickly and easily with car sharing or public transport. Consumption has changed drastically and it is no longer about "more, more, more" and Provit, but about long-lasting, sustainable, social products that are good for everyone. There are awards for companies that act in a particularly honest, socially and environmentally responsible way. People are much healthier and happier. There is more cohesion and cultural exchange.

Freundlichkeit
I wish that people would treat each other more kindly again in the future. People should no longer just be selfish, because basically we're all in the same boat. I wish people would be more human and helpful again. Children should be brought up better again. Decency, politeness and above all consideration should become much more important again. The world as it is right now is too unfriendly, cold and aggressive. Today, people hardly dare to go outside in broad daylight, let alone in the evening.
