Young people are increasingly prioritising careers with positive social and environmental impacts. Globally, two-in-five young people see social impact as one of the deciding factors for their career choices.

At the same time, almost 50% of young people in OECD countries would prefer to be self- employed rather than work as employees.

Young people are seizing opportunities and leading social enterprises across the world but what are the challenges and best paths to follow? How do we give young people a seat at the table? What can policy makers do to help? Polly Akhurst from Amala gives us her insights.

Host: Natalie Laechelt Guest: Polly Akhurst, the co-founder and executive director of Amala
