PLEASE get out of the habit of using the words 'youth' or 'young' when what you actually mean is 'student'. Students come in a range of ages. The language you're using not only reveals your ageism, but it also reinforces ageism in general.

Esp in a world where many democracies are undermining retirement/pension, older folks are expecting to have to work 'til they die. Furthermore, Climate Emergency means many folks will need to retrain & enter new fields.

#Ageism can be a death sentence.
