Pope Francis said Wednesday
that it is necessary to find a mechanism to combat youth
unemployment by having older employees work less. "A new social
pact for labour, which reduces the work hours of those in their
last working season to create jobs for the young who have the
right-duty to work, is urgent," the pope told delegates of
Italian trade union CISL. "A society that forces elderly people
to work too long and obliges an entire generation of young
people not to work when they should do so for themselves and for
everyone is foolish and short-sighted".
