Gen Z Doesn’t Need a Year of National Service.
Manage episode 507119203 series 3336966
A recent poll shows that most Canadians — especially olderones — support requiring young adults to spend a year serving in areas like health, disaster response, or the environment.
In this episode of the Hard Truths pod, our social media coordinator Jennifer Fox joins Generation Squeeze founder, Dr. Paul Kershaw as he explains how younger Canadians already perform a critical national service: They pay more out of pocket, and sacrifice their standard of living, to protect healthy retirements for our aging population. Paul argues that before we ask younger Canadians to shoulder more service, it’s timewe acknowledge the service they already provide.
