the world has become so complicated almost hostile in this environment does today's use have a future and what's it going to look like after the pandemic generation lockdown our topic today on may to welcome now each generation has its challenges mine was faced with a cold war on the possibility of being wiped out in a nuclear war this doomsday scenario made planning for the future pointless instead we strove for self-fulfillment after all who knows how much time we really have it's actually not that dissimilar to today's millennialists but since the coronavirus pandemic hit they have gone from worrying about self realisation and work life balance to truly existential fia's my colleague. explains. remember the entire university 1st of all to a stranger chase my dreams for the money right once all of this

self-fulfillment and a small carbon footprint i am a millennial. it was so interesting to hear because it's so far from my lived experience i'm not sure that's true here was a bully would be wanting to do a book or log down is now branded obsolete because the current right sorry guys that was pre-planned demick me last year go back feels so long ago. that's us generation y. well maybe more like generation. generation lockdown. my name's leaders to harper president of washington d.c. i'm used to kind of handsome out of character check to check life so i've always had. to read a side job simultaneously the problem with that and then make is that it's really

just cut outs all of my industry hi. i actually live in the philippines when the band they make it in the philippines all of our where he had hidden from all my love is something like. it's all a lap up this. but if you don't have a bet here for just joining the 1st line i was surviving but god made my back hurt so much my name and mary not kind and so on and i am from mumbai i was looking to change my job back now with lockdown i cannot like you not like. i am exactly at square one before the crisis some 67600000 young people between the ages of 15 and 24 were out

of work as a result of the pandemic and that's increased to an estimated 328000000 so junk people are being hit especially hard to do with people even before the every kid boomers were eating more than once and now it's getting even worse all of us are getting fired it's harder and harder to get into our post jobs and training and education have ground swell holes. what's really great for our egos to be honest. young people employed to be informal sector so without a contract i especially vulnerable africa 93 percent of young people work in the informal sector as do many in the asia pacific region in the arab states and in latin america. my generation is very self focus i think a lot generation is now to be more of the both self involved me me didn't

have to work full security like alabamans generation and looking at society and community doesn't come naturally in my generation. we want to feel passionate about work do something meaningful and work as flexibly as possible and if i want to. fun of my job. and my boss has to play along because he needs me. but. i'm kind of lost and i need your help where are you when i need you it looks to me as if you're in a bad or am i seeing films all over this or at least there's one good thing about the pandemic i can work from home now all the time but also around wherever i want

. check you have the mute button of the armchair as you call it. we are told to look old. i can't afford to live on my own like i have to live with roommates probably for my whole way like i don't know there is definitely. some about mangini is that once the monitoring i can see with that one the day. they need to lay out the moment should i write if we have less job security and we need less money how are we to expected to pay for them they don't know. well it's pretty clear that our growth will suffer from this crisis but maybe we can also turn it into something positive generation for let's make the postpartum a growth that's all. well it's an old saying things usually get worse

before they get better so before we can embark on making the world a better place i'm the knock down surely offers an opportunity for this we 1st have to deal with the fallout from the crisis the effects of the coronavirus pandemic already being felt on many different levels but above all the impact is financial with the rise in unemployment a downturn in consumer activity and the collapse of certain key industries like energy and tourism what economists have dumped the covert 19 recession might end quickly but it can still have long lasting consequences here's a look at some possible scenarios. the global economy has come to a screeching halt during the coronavirus pandemic a crisis like no other many fear for their jobs as companies go bust or stop investing people save their money and spend less worsening the downward spiral. stock prices interest rates wages and prices all tend to decline we are now in

a global recession a recession is one phase of the business cycle that generally runs this way and economy recovers booms goes into recession hits bottom in a depression before recovering again. many define a recession simply as 2 consecutive quarters of decline in g.d.p. . recessions can be over quite quickly but the consequences such as job losses can endure. the transition from recession to recovery can take different forms. a v. shaped curve describes a sudden collapse followed by a rapid recovery that's the best case scenario where the u. shaped curve the recovery takes longer government and central bank aid meet time to have an effect. an l. shaped curve represents the most damaging scenario the economy does not pick up

there is a prolonged to depression loss of confidence a wave of bankruptcy and mass unemployment as for germany estimates of how much the economy will shrink this year range from 6.5 to 20 percent this is set to be germany's worst recession since the 2nd world war. and while this recession is hurting pretty much everyone university students are in an especially bad place to hold deserted libraries a shot and course is an exams take place online if at all. but students are also suffering financially germany for instance has nearly $3000000.00 students and more than 2 thirds of them normally rely on part time jobs to get by but many of those jobs have been obliterated by the pandemic as a result almost 800000 students have lost their income it's a situation that is even tougher for foreign students who have no family here to

fall back on no job means it's harder to afford health insurance many also face an uncertain visa status in many countries the u.s. for example is threatened to deport international students if they don't attend classes in person the situation is less daya for those doing the studies here in germany but they too need help. my life was great before the korean virus came in to get through so i went out with my friends all the time we want shopping. my life was wonderful. because of iris is making me crazy i think it's a disaster. dave hi mike i best. cave in is one of almost 400000 foreign students in germany she's been here for 2 and a half years now. i'm k.v.

and i come from come over you know i'm studying business informatics here in germany but the virus has turned my life upside down. until march she also worked in an old people's home but then lockdown restrictions ended that and her income dried up. but you know i'm one that's your hosses if i can't afford to pay my health insurance they'll tell the university which will tell the immigration office that. i could lose my residency status. is very complicated. bedroom wise they use thing i could never imagine having to go home because i lost my fisa. act. that would be terrible to get to more. many foreign students are facing all kinds of unexpected problems rosso maria ramirez is also studying in berlin but now she's back home and

lima she went to see her family in february and got stuck there when per group went in the lockdown. my plan was to come back at the end of march. when i left berlin there only been 4 cases reported in all of germany. i told my friends at university that if things got bad they could come and join me in peru. now. i'm stuck. i didn't think the virus will come here too but then it did and it hit really hard. she's studying geography and international development. over the past few years she's done a lot of traveling including for her field research and her master's thesis. that was quite a different life compared to these past few weeks living with her parents and siblings in an apartment and lima.

we've been here at home together for more than 80 days. we can't visit anyone else. people are afraid to see each other. for if i don't get back to germany by the end of august i could lose my status my work permit and my student visa. but that's because i'll have been out of the country for more than 6 months. and then i'd have to prove again that i have enough money to finance my stay for at least 6 months. on this issue and that would mean a deposit of 4000 euros in the future but i don't have that much. and what if you really can't come back. summary a is determined to complete her degree are you becoming more flexible.

i think we latin americans are like that. if something doesn't work out we look for an alternative. stays in touch by phone with her siblings who are also studying in europe she is almost run out of money she does her course work online but can't afford to do much else. i would like to buy some new clothes for the summer. because of the coronavirus is not so easy. i can't go to walk. i haven't got enough money to buy much.

except for a few little things. i. think it could be she click it could be think. the german government is providing interim financial aid to students in hardship including foreign students the maximum is $500.00 euros a month probably not enough to tide her over. for. well $500.00 euros it's a start but where is the money for this aid coming from the state coffers of the telsey not necessarily countries around the world running up an astronomical amount of debt in a bid to safe their economies and who will get stuck paying back all that money right may well be down to the younger generation to pick up the pieces. vast sums of being spent to bail out the ravaged economies hundreds of billions of euros in germany. in india. cars

in china. and in the united states trillions. of governments have to borrow most of this money but who will pay the debt back. today's elderly short today's young. much public debt only comes due decades later that means today's young will carry the can in many countries. there is already a shortage of jobs and training opportunities higher taxes and spending cuts are quite likely in the future so are today's millennial as the main losers in the coronavirus crisis. not necessarily they might also stand to benefit if investment is focused on shaping the future. education digitalisation environmental protection.

if firms are kept going through the process jobs should become available again holders of government bonds should eventually get paid out to daisy and will inherit public debt but some of them will also inherit government bonds so members of the same generation will be paying each other back foot. if an economy grows strongly retained it won't be a huge problem. protracted crisis by contrast would be a disaster. inflation bankruptcy's mass unemployment would be much worse for coming generations than inheriting a pile of public debt. now that in the midst of every crisis lies great opportunity that's a quote attributed to einstein a genius so he should know so where's the upside to this pandemic if you work in

the digital sector you may be feeling it digital services are in huge demand these days and those providers are busier than ever while others are struggling what does it feel like to be on the winning side we met up with young entrepreneurs in johannesburg. so it all the former home of nelson mandela is usually a tourist magnet but since the coronavirus crisis the streets have been cleared and the stores closed standing in front of his empty shop causa feels completely helpless. the. business. question yeah. it's

a devastating situation for young entrepreneurs state support is only available for large companies experts predict youth unemployment will rise even more this year. but those who set up digital business models before the crisis are in a much better position to ride out the shutdown like yoga teacher and influence to de milo sylacauga 4 years ago to demolish started to live stream her daily practice sessions since the lock down her number of viewers has skyrocketed. there is a lot of the one who doesn't because that is not a musician and the instructor. both markets are interactive because people are looking for music and some people want to stay healthy so in general for me i think it's been good and more so right now. around 1000 people tune in every day the training sessions are free for everyone to mellow

earns money by promoting a clothing label which she wears during the sessions to develop isn't the only one who is making the most of her digital business. is also exploring the possibilities that he lives for. together with other artists like cujo is developing a new commercial for him and. he's certain that this technology is a growing trend that will last long after the cold 90 crisis to him the possibilities are endless i'm looking forward to having like a live concert. live concerts where. you can actually purchase a ticket and have some kind of code that you put in just to get to your product and things are definitely. in march saw that because the

1st cyber party took place it was a huge success well the lineup featuring many popular musicians and d.j.'s a mammoth 700000 listeners to the online events. but for many young people who are losing their income this offers little solace expensive internet rates and poor connectivity mean that everyone can simply go digital still calls in so we're told is trying to make the best of things he started marketing his clothes over what's up in facebook he says the crisis has made him rethink the way. it's been when it comes to. trying to make something out of nothing i think it's a. tricky situation.

there's still room for improvement he sold just 2 pieces so far but calls are ses he want to let the virus win like many others he's in this while the long haul. that's the right spirit that you are it's all about having the right attitude especially in times of crisis it is something many of us have to learn because the coronavirus pandemic might be the 1st real crisis we've lived through but all the generations before us also had bass share of troubles so how did they cope my colleague. went to his mother for advice. is one is it true it's a completely new experience. i'm alone. how sort of i can only go out if absolutely necessary. is up to us and also how can i cope.

mama mama knows best i ask her. if. i can please my she always has advice for me come on that would often she'd have an answer at least time to my mother and my mom always say son sit up straight even though you're me sit up straight. with you it's a great opportunity to sit up straight for a few days if you can't go out. and what hasn't my mother grew up in the country on a farm she's worked hard all her life she's always well dressed she likes red lipstick they are a lot of photocell for with red lipstick. she hates branded fish it doesn't go with fish she say's she loves brussels sprouts she had to do she has lived through so

much wall in crisis. and she was and is always so calm. and well dressed. ok projects have been canceled or postponed you can be angry about that you have a right to be angry however just like mama would say this yes it's really awful another time of secretary rice's it's not the 1st time she's had to make sacrifices she doesn't say god it's so terrible what can we do. instead she says and we wait it out and then carry on and we grow in the process that's a special quality of purse and i'm on my if i have learnt one thing from mama gets to not stand still but instead see the opportunity to do things differently this

crisis is changing so much how we communicate how we manage projects really for many of us it's a great opportunity to do something you always want to but never dare to you up to now now is your chance and this crisis opened up or a singing. opera singer. he's got a concious mama right now we're getting her it would be too dangerous but she takes that in stride to. me i miss her she misses me but as she keeps on saying that's just the way it has to be for now we have a phone twice a day every day. so look after each other or from one another down then we have gained something from the crisis. good advice and yes being a hopeless optimist myself i agree it's pace to remain optimistic while the well
