State of the Nelson Tasman Youth Sector
The Nelson Tasman Youth Workers Collective has commissioned a report on the state of our youth sector. It describes what's happening across the youth development sector in Nelson–Tasman, and points to some practical ways to support youth-focused organisations.
This report reflects the voices of people working in the sector, rather than the voices of young people themselves. Seven ideas across four themes have been identified and the feedback you have provided is currently under review.
Youthline releases a "State of the Generation" report every two years to gauge the issues affecting young New Zealanders. The biggest issues, according to this year's survey group, were social pressure (25%), cost of living (18%), and the job market (17%). When asked to name their three biggest issues, the results were mental health (59%), lack of job opportunities (52%), bullying (40%), money issues (38%) and climate change (35%).
