The Reserve Bank warns that economic growth may not mean more jobs for young people, as businesses lean into AI and efficiency—shrinking entry-level roles critical for career launchpads. With youth unemployment nearly triple the national average, a vicious cycle emerges: no experience means no job, and no job means no experience. Experts fear this threatens future leadership, especially in hands-on fields like engineering and manufacturing, where real-world learning is irreplaceable. While AI boosts productivity, it can’t replicate human judgment or relationship-building. The real challenge? Redesigning education-to-work transitions so newcomers can still gain the skills employers demand—before it’s too late for the next generation’s career pipeline.
