Auroville youth work survey

YouthLink has conducted a work survey youth between 18-30 in Auroville. They received 116 responses from Aurovilian youth, which accounts for 24% of all youth in this age group. The main findings are that Auroville youth are highly educated: 90% have a high school degree, out of which 42% have a Master or Bachelors degree. 77% are working, 14% are studying or are out of Auroville, and only 9% are looking for work. Nobody said that they are not willing to work. For the working respondents, almost 90% of their jobs are in line with their interests. However, 39% do not want to continue their job for the next three years, the main reason possibly being that they cannot sustain themselves on an Auroville maintenance.
