Youth populations in the Dominican Republic, Spain, and Argentina are facing systemic challenges related to political engagement and economic stability. In the Dominican Republic and Spain, young people report a growing gap between themselves and decision-making institutions. In the Dominican Republic, political apathy is linked to a lack of trust and the perception that proximity to power is prioritized over merit. In Spain, youth express concerns regarding housing and job precariousness but feel excluded from actual decision-making processes. High housing costs have significantly increased the risk of poverty for young renters, with 85.5% of young people unable to move out of their parental homes. Economic data further illustrates these difficulties, particularly in Argentina. A report by the Observatorio de la Deuda Social Argentina (ODSA) at the Universidad Católica Argentina (UCA) (UCA), titled ‘Juventudes desiguales: entre la promesa y la exclusión’, highlights severe labor instability among those aged 18 to 25. Only 14.2% of this demographic holds formal employment with full rights. Nearly 70% The remaining population is characterized by high rates of young people are classified as unemployed, inactive, inactivity (36.6%), irregular or working in informal sectors. Inactivity levels reach 36.6%, which includes students and those disconnected from both education seasonal work (22.5%), and the labor market, while approximately 20.7% are categorized as “NiNi” (neither studying nor working). long-term unemployment (10.7%). Socioeconomic status heavily influences these outcomes: regular outcomes. Regular employment rates drop from 38.9% in middle-high income households to 19.7% in very low-income households. Additionally, long-term unemployment triples The ‘NiNi’ population—those who neither study nor work—reaches 34.2% in lower socioeconomic strata low-income households compared to higher ones, and educational 8.3% in middle-high households. Educational access remains divided, with 64.7% deeply divided: while 69% of youth in from middle-high strata have initiated or completed higher education, 64.7% of those from the lowest stratum failing have failed to complete mandatory schooling.
