    Episode 5: Rita: Youth Unemployment in Portugal
    Sep 1 2023
    In many European countries, there is the current discussion of whether young people have too unrealistic expectations on the labour market. But what if you have a university degree, good grades and motivation to work, but despite all that you are unable to find a job? What if you did everything right, the way you were told, and still you are not able to support yourself as an adult due to low salary or unemployment? Many young people are struggling with this in different parts of Europe. And sometimes, the only option they see is to leave their home country behind. Just like Rita Cruz did. And in this episode, she is going to share her experience.

    What is Europe? How has it shaped us, how does it work and what do we want from it?
