Yepstr and youth unemployment

Youth unemployment is a problem across Europe. In Sweden we are reduced by 20%, one high figure compared to the rest of Europe. Young people are doubly punished when employers place increasing emphasis on previous experience. In Sweden in particular, there is a shortage of simple jobs, which means that young people are expected to study longer in order to enter the labor market.Young people are often accused of being lazy. But according to Economic facts High starting salaries and harsh labor legislation are the biggest contributing factors to youth unemployment.

Yepstr wants to show these young people that they can not only get jobs, but also that they can create their own jobs.

According to the National Board of Youth Affairsattitude and value guide 2013, Swedish young people's absolute fear is not getting a job after graduation or university degree. At Yepstr, we want to show these young people that they can not only get jobs, but also that they can create their own jobs.Yepstr is the first digital marketplace through which we offer young people the opportunity to work, according to their own abilities, locally and securely. Yepstr insures and tests both clients and teenagers during and before work, but is not an employer. We offer teenagers a community and tools that they can use to build their CV, their travel fund and their first company if they so wish.We solve the youth unemployment issue by offering simple jobs locally. For young people who prove themselves, over time, company jobs are also offered. We believe that simple jobs at home and in the workplace mean that Swedish households have more time to spare for other things, instead of mowing the lawn, they can focus on more important things.Yepstr helps teens get on track and households get more time for the things they love.
