The youth are particularly vulnerable to the disruptive changes taking place in the global economy, education, and the job market. Pre-pandemic trends such as automation, digitalisation, and globalisation have changed the way people live and work. In addition, COVID-19 has further complicated young people’s lives by affecting them deeply and disproportionately.

Given these circumstances, the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung’s (KAS) Regional Economic Programme Asia (SOPAS) and the Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation (TAEF) are organising the conference, “A Better (Re)Start: The Future of Work for Young People”, which will discuss in-depth the trends and patterns within the Asian youth education and labour environment.
