Kids enrolled in high school have a 20% employment rate. That is certainly not the average.
Kids who have no life experience want to change the world. these are also the same people who think you can identify as a wolf.

--- Want any of my Constitutional rights?, ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
I come from a time and a place where I judge people by the content of their character; I don't give a damn if you are tall or short; gay or straight; Jew or Gentile; White, Black, Brown or Green; Conservative or Liberal. -- Note to mods: if you are going to infract me have the decency to post the reason, and expect to hold everyone else to the same standard.
Yeah, most of the kids involved are just skipping class to skip class. The ones that aren't and actually believe the world is ending are just kids that have been influenced by their teachers / parents to think so. The day I look at kids to make policy then decisions is the day the country is doomed anyway.
I could easily cut power 4 hours a day while I am at work, not a big deal.
Side note, my next home will be 100% self sufficient and all theses suckers who lose power during huge storms will be envious of my power!
lol I know I skipped every day I could find an excuse for in HS, hope those kids had fun out there! XD
Seems to me that these kids don't understand just how little impact they have on the environment until they become adults. When you have to own a car and commute everywhere, or try to raise a family and you need a vehicle, maybe then they can actually protest a need for things like more public transit.

Meanwhile the government will tax the shit out of you for it. As soon as you even think of going off the grid, you will get taxed even though you are generating your own power.
According to most kids, the following is the list of things that need to be done to combat climate change:
1. Something
Well, in Canada they don't tax you extra because it is against the law to go fully off the grid. I would have to be connected to it, but you can have an auto switching circuit that ticks over to your home storage when the grid goes down automatically which is the simplest solution. Also we cannot have the solar panels on the house since most insurance companies won't insure a house with solar due to fire hazard which is complete bs if it is done correctly, so it will be a solar unit in the yard that plugs into the house.
It does suck to have to work around it but you can do it, I know people who have done it with the work around and after like 10 years it has paid for itself and you can sell power back to the grid during peak hours and make a pretty penny.
Yeah no, even ''over here'' youth employment is not in the average, even in Denmark.
And for europe as whole, we're probably gonna average at the same rate as the US.
Latest statistics from denmark show that 34% total employment rate in the age bracket 13-17, with girls rate being 33%, and boys 29%.
The employment rates are highest in the rural parts of western jutland (the islands, and popular vacation spots is up there as well), lowest employment rates on zealand, and in big cities.
They are working on average (2016 numbers) 9,5 hours per week.
If we take the most common occupied jobs for people in this bracket (grocery stores, making up 32,1% of all youth employment), they have an average pay of 66DKK/hr (roughly 10usd/hr, numbers taken from 3F union agreement).
At an average of 9,5hrs a week, they're gonna sit @ 381USD per month, before taxes and ATP (ATP paid if you work more than 9hrs on average per week).
The employment rate for people in the age bracket 18-25, sits at 62-65%, dependant on what specific age you pick. this pools everybody, despite background and occupation in the same pool, so that means people with a skilled trade, APs and PBAs (trades join the work force from 19, APs and PBAs from 21) is in the same pool and students.
In no age bracket is 80% employment rate reached, but the closest is 78% in the bracket 41-46
Statistics on youth employment in denmark, published by the state statistics, late 2018
Claiming that young people have the most disposable income and are the primus motor in consumption of luxuries is a very bold and misleading; it's the people in adult workforce that has more disposable income, and higher consumption of luxury goods.
If you go to the statistics page about consumption and tick off everything that could be considered a luxury, you'll find that the sub-30 group uses less in all of the categories when compared to the ages up to, and including 60 (excluded older as that's when people start to retire).
If you compare total consumption, 30-59 bracket consumes 1.8x more (result in dkk) than the sub-30.
