The urgency of youth unemployment

Chile's youth unemployment rate has reached its highest level since September 2021, at 24.6%, more than double the national unemployment rate of 8.4%. This situation highlights a significant social challenge, as many young people seek work but cannot find opportunities. The article references Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical *Magnifica Humanitas*, emphasizing the importance of work as a means of personal growth and societal contribution. The Archbishop of Santiago, Cardinal Fernando Chomali, argues that prolonged unemployment among youth undermines both individual potential and the future of Chile. He calls for collective action by the state, private sector, and educational institutions to create meaningful employment opportunities and support young people's integration into society.
