Work Isn't Working
Right now, 500 million young people (17-25) around the world are living on less than $2 a day. For young people, especially those previously unemployed, or with situational challenges, they are frequently left out of the job market. In developing countries, an estimated two-thirds of young people are not fulfilling their economic potential. For single-parent households, the picture gets even bleaker for those who have to choose between taking care of young children and earning a living wage.
Launching Long-Lasting Careers
35% of our current employees are in the target 17-25 age group.
Our Social Impact framework focuses on Empowerment and Impact Hiring by targeting two key groups: young people aged 17-25 who face one or more situational challenges and single parents with one or more children under the age of 17 living at home.
