Why the Future of Work Needs Youth at the Heart

Young people are often told they’re the future but in many ways, they’re already reshaping the present.

We speak with Jurriaan Middelhoff, the Dutch Ambassador for Youth, Education and Work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, about how youth can be bridge builders between generations and cultures, and how governments and companies can better include them in shaping the future of work.

From lessons in meaningful participation and skills development to practical recommendations for Malaysia, this conversation explores what it really takes to give youth a genuine seat at the table and why that benefits everyone.
