Comparing data from 2005, 2010, and 2020, young people are now sig- nificantly more willing to be geographically mobile, to further educate themselves, to take temporary jobs and to accept lower pay in order to increase their job prospects. Moreover, one-third of them are willing to work voluntarily (without payment) and just under two-thirds of young people are willing to embark on a path of self-employment, even though the data show that only less than one-third of young people volunteer to do so (which is lower than in 2005 or 2010).
