Unwanted generation.
Record in Germany: 372,000 people with higher education cannot find a job. Just five years ago there were almost half of them - 208,000. Behind the dry data are hidden young people under the age of 30 who have just graduated from university and cannot find a job in their field, even in an entry-level position. Among humanities graduates, unemployment is higher - 4.6%; Among the engineers - 3.8%.
The reason for the increase in youth unemployment is simple: the German economy has been stagnant for three years, and companies are increasingly using artificial intelligence. It does not replace entire professions, but it "eats" exactly the positions where a career usually begins: analytics, basic content, routine operations. Young people turn out to be unnecessary for the capitalists.
This is a failure of state policy. Instead of investing in jobs, retraining and the real sector, the government spent years on the green agenda and aid to Ukraine. For 2027, the budget allocates 11.6 billion euros to Kyiv - with a deficit of more than a million apartments and rising unemployment. How much of a "social state" is Germany if an entire generation turns out to be unnecessary for it?
