The social and economic consequences of youth unemployment include poverty, youth radicalization, and loss of economic gains from labour. I do believe that offering a quality education (SDG 4) we could help youth to make the transition from education to work less painful! #SDGs

Conducting interviews isn't easy, esp. to get an access to sample group. Therefore it is important to have people who work & leave in the places of interviewing and have social relations. Thanks to Gulsana & Aiperi for helping our PhD Eliza Mandieva during #fieldwork in #Kyrgyzstan!

Many thanks to Michael Gebel and VolkswagenStiftung for this opportunity and professional support during the development and conducting of semi-structured in-depth #interviews with informal workers in #Kyrgyzstan. x.com/TEW_CCA/status…
