Al Jazeera examines why young people are paying to get hired
A report questions why some young people are paying to secure work as the entry-level job market comes under scrutiny.
An Al Jazeera report is examining why some young people are paying to secure employment, placing the practice within what it describes as a broken entry-level job market.
The report questions why the market for entry-level work is failing to function effectively and what is driving young jobseekers to pay in order to be hired.
The available material does not identify where the practice is occurring, who is making the payments or how much money is involved.
It also does not establish how widespread the practice is, or whether the payments are formal, informal, legal or fraudulent.
Al Jazeera’s characterisation of the entry-level job market as broken is presented as the report’s framing and has not been independently verified in the available material.
