His great engine to capture the young vote

by

American conservatism has just lost one of its great foci and a rising value, especially among the younger public. Yesterday Charlie Kirk received A fatal bullet while participating in a massive act in Utah. His death, at 31, intensifies the Escalation of violence That American politics seems to be living, but also has another consequence for Donald Trump: he deprives him of one of his great buzas to capture the young vote. And its importance was clear in the 2024 elections. What happened? That the American political chronicle has just added a new dire date: on September 10, prelude to 11-S and (from now on) the day of the murder by Charles James Kirk, Aka Charlie Kirkone of the headlights of the Maga and ‘anti woke’ of the US, especially among young people. The news runs as the gunpowder through social networks and media around the world since yesterday: while participating in a massive act at the University of Utah Valley, on the outskirts of Salt Lake City (Utah), a stranger unleashed a shot to Kirk in his neck. He did not survive. I was 31 years old. I was married. And leave Two childrenSarah Rose, a three -year -old girl, and a boy of just 15 months. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Why is it news? Basically for two reasons. The most media and less relevant are the details of the murder itself and what surrounds it. Kirk was killed at a distance while participating in a public and massive act, a format to which he was accustomed and during which he had no qualms about debating with the public. In fact when he received the shot, Kirk was arguing about cases of mass shootings in the US. He influencer conservative was a firm defender of possession of weapons and in one of his podcasts he reached launch a proclamation That today sounds almost prophetic: “It is worth paying, unfortunately, some deaths for firearms every year so we can have the second amendment.” Is there more? Yes. In addition to crying Kirk’s death, remember who he was and what he did in his brief life, right now the US dedicates himself to something else: identifying his murderer. And that search has generated more expectation around crime. Utah’s governor has not hesitated to describe what happened as “Political murder” And ensures that the authorities work with the hypothesis that the criminal acted alone. In the hours following the murder there were several information (and denials) in which there was talk of an arrest. Even the FBI said they have a possible suspect or “person of interest.” The truth is that the hours advance and the authorities have not yet given the person in charge. Who was Kirk? That is the second reason why Utah’s crime is having so many impact. Kirk may be young (in October he would turn 32), but had managed to become a key figure of the Maga and ‘anti woke’ movement, in addition to a person very close to the Trump clan. The president has lamented his murder (like his predecessors and other political leaders, both republicans and Democrats) and has asked that the flags of “All buildings” from the US wave at half -mast in Kirk’s memory. The closeness between Trump and Kirk dates back to before the return of the Republican to the White House and has been evident several times: they have participated together in public events and Kirk He attended the inauguration of the Republican leader in January. It could also be seen during The controversial visit That the son of the president, Donald Trump Jr., did Greenland at the beginning of this year. “The great, even legendary, Charlie Kirk. He has died. No one understood or had the heart of young people in the US better than him. He was loved and admired by all, especially for me,” He said goodbye Trump of the young man in Truth. “The condolences of Melania and mine to her beautiful wife, Erika, and her family. Charlie, we love you!” Why this relationship? Personal affinities on the margin, there is something undeniable: Kirk was an important Maga asset and a rising value between American conservatism. One that contributed to Trump’s return to the White House. Kirk added 5.6 million of followers in X and 8.8 On Instagram, he was a reference in the Fox News chain, he shared his reflections in the podcast ‘The Charlie Kirk Show’ (whose episodes generated between 500,000 and 750,000 downloads) and published several books, including ‘The Maga doctrine’. If by algosobresalió Kirk was however for orchestrating a network in which Trump found valuable electoral support. Maybe your greatest legacy is TURNING Point USA (TPUSA), an organization that promoted in 2012 with activist Bill Montgomery and is basically dedicated to promoting the conservative ideology in US schools, schools and universities. As remember in The conversationJared Mondschein, from the University of Sydney, Tpusa started with a revenue of just $ 78,000 and has managed to grow up to 85 million dollars last year. “Outside the digital world, Tpusa is present at more than 3,500 campus, with more than 250,000 members members and more than 450 empelled and partial time”, ” Mondschein points out. In addition to TPUSA, Kirk involved and promoted other conservative organizations, such as Students for Trump either TURNING Point Action. Why is it important? Because thanks to his acts and platforms Kirk managed to become an influential magic voice, especially among the youngest, who played an important role in Trump’s re -election. The data of Circle either The Civis Center They show that, although Kamala Harris managed to monopolize greater youth vote, the Republican grew in that segment. Yes in 2020 47% of the electorate Young was declared a democrat compared to the 30% who identified Republican, in 2024 those percentages were already at 42 and 39%, respectively. Pew Research too identified An increase in republican support in 2024 among the youngest electorate. While the … Read more

The Church has been trying to connect with young people for years. Now he has his best asset: the first Millennial Holy

by

The Millennials They already have their own representative in the Book of Saints of the Catholic Church. Yesterday, during one massive ceremony held in the Plaza de San Pedro, Pope Leo XIV canonized Carlo Acutisa young Italian who died in 2006 with only 15 years. The fascination generated by the figure of Acutis arrives at a particularly delicate moment for Rome, which has seen how in recent years it grew disaffection Between the Church and European young people. The new “Millennial Holy” offers you a unique opportunity to reconnect with them. There are also those who have seen another opportunity: the black relic market. What happened? That the Catholic Church already has its first saint Millennial: Carlo Acutisan Italian who died in 2006, with just 15 years, victim of a fulminating leukemia. His canonization is no surprise. Although the process that has culminated with its sanctification has been surprisingly fast, its inscription has long since been more than sitting. The gears for their canonization were activated in 2012, seven years later his body was exhumed (With debate included about the “incorruption” of the body) and in 2020 Pope Francis Beatified. Since then, the procedures of the Dicastery of the Causes of the Saints have advanced at an unusual speed. Moreover, his proclamation was expected to Last Aprilcoinciding with the jubilee of adolescents, but the death of Bergoglio disrupted those plans. Who was Carlo Acutis? A young Italian. Nothing else. Nothing less. And it is that apparent simplicity that explains that it has become such a relevant figure for Rome. Having been born in 1991 Acutis is in theory the first saint of The Millenial cohort“. In fact, it is presented again and again In the international press, as “the first ‘millennial’”. If that were not enough to do so, Acutis showed another peculiarity: it was another boy of his time, with hobbies and a style that he would not disregard that of any young man of the 2000s. In recent years, Acutis has been presented as a young ‘normal and current’ who breaks with the image that usually accompanies holiness: he liked football, playing with the playstation, setting videos with his friends and seemed to feel a inclination for computer science. So much so that it is said that he used his programming knowledge, acquired thanks to the reading of manuals, to elaborate several websites for altruistic purposes, including one dedicated to List miracles. In which it is probably the maximum reaffirmation of that ‘normal’ character, as a person of his time, Acutis’s body rests after a glazed sepulcher in the church of Santa María la MayorAssisi, dressed in a blue sweatshirt, jeans and sneakers. No robes or ceremonial clothes. Why is it important? Because perhaps because of its history, its appearance or mixture of both Acutis has become a specially interesting figure for Rome. To begin with an out of the ordinary interest. It is said that throughout the last year One million pilgrims They have visited their grave in Assisi, a figure that slides The Wall Street Journalcould be overcome this year. Another proof of his enormous popularity is that yesterday Pope Leo XIV not only canonized him. In the same ceremony, holy was consecrated to Pier Giorgio Frassatianother young activist who died in 1925 with only 24 years. His name has been eclipsed by the mass phenomenon of “First saint ‘millennial’ “. “What is happening with Carlo is difficult to explain. It is something that far exceeds our expectations,” Recognize The Bishop of Assisi, Domenico Sorrentino. That devotion was evident since soon, in 2006, during his funeral. Are there more reasons? Yes. Acutis was not only a Millennial for its date of birth. The stories about his life insist that he shared the hobbies of most young people of his age, such as sport, technology or video games, tastes that combined with his religious devotion. “I was going to Mass and prayed the rosary every day,” His mother tellsAntonia Salzano. “We lived in the center of Milan, in a building surrounded by beggars. He wanted to help them, talk to them, bring them food and blankets.” In recent years It has not lacked Who warns that the image built around Acutis is forced and ensures that the young man did not like football or preferred the sports moccasins that we wear in his grave. Is that relevant? Yes it is. Acutis is a breath of air, an oxygen ball for a Catholic church that has seen how the secularism gap grew over the last years, especially among young people. At least in part of the world. In June Funcas published A studybased on data from the European Social Survey, which shows that last year only 32% of the population between 18 and 29 years was identified as Catholic. If we look at just two decades, 2002, that percentage was almost double, around 60%. It is not the only example of that growing disaffection. Another recent report Fundació Ferrer I Guàrdia points out that almost 60% of Spaniards under 44 are declared non -religious. In other European countries the situation is not very different. Recently the University of St Mary’s in London did A poll Between different countries of the continent and found that in large part of them the percentage of young adults without religion was approaching or already exceeded 50%. Yesterday, hardly the ceremony held in Rome, Leo XIV recognized Feeling “cheerful” of seeing “so many young people” and insisted on pointing to Carlo (and Frassati) as models to follow for the new generations. “They are an invitation for all of us, especially for young people, not to waste our lives, but to direct them to the top,” proclaimed The Supreme Pontiff at a time when Spanish seminars suffer A historical drought of vocations. To further reinforce their image, there are those who already refer to Acutis as “God’s influencer “ either “Internet patron saint”an honor that isor Isidoro of Seville.

There will be only one young man for every three professionals who retire

Spain faces an unprecedented challenge with respect to generational relay of the current active population due to demographic aging. According to a recent one Study of the Observatory of the Professional Training of Caixabank Duiza and Orkestra Basque Institute of Competitiveness, in Spain there is a deficit of almost 3.5 million people under 30 years in the employed population to compensate for the weight of the population over 50 years of age than He will retire In the coming years. “There is a true demographic fire, only that it is not unforeseen, we have seen it on and extend,” declares to The avant -garde Mónica Mosa, researcher and co -author of the study. This mismatch among young people under 30 and over 50 years old It has doubled In the last decade, putting at risk the sustainability of many companies and economic activities for shortage qualified labor. Demographic differences in the working population. As the report points out, for each young person under 30 there are three workers over 50. This imbalance will make, for example, in a decade this proportion He moves To the price for retirement benefits, where a worker would support the benefits of several pensioners, increasing pressure on the pension system. In communities such as Asturias, for every 100 young people under 30 there are 257 over 65 years old, while in Castilla y León and Galicia this proportion exceeds 220 greater than 65 per 100 young people. These regions, characterized by being rural and with a High depopulation ratethey have added difficulties to attract and retain young labor in fundamental professions such as agriculture, livestock or forest agents, pillars of their local economy. The low birth rate. The main trigger for this situation is decline Birth rate in Spainwhich in the last ten years has dropped by 27%. The average number of children per woman is well below the necessary to maintain the population, which has gone from 9.11 born by a thousand inhabitants in 2013 to 6.61 births per thousand inhabitants in 2023. However, this rate varies considerably depending on the origin of the families, varying from the 8.30 births per thousand inhabitants of Spanish mothers at 16.05 of foreign mothers. Likewise, the study includes that the number of children per woman has also dropped from 1.27 in 2013 to 1.12 in 2023, being equally lower among Spanish women (1.09 children) than among foreign women (1.28 children). These last figures are a clear risk to the sustainability of the generational relief in the workplace, taking into account that at least 2.1 children per woman would be necessary to guarantee it. The impact goes by sectors. The shortage of young people especially affects sectors with traditional and technical trades such as electricity, plumbing, carpentry, manufacturing industry, construction or repair of vehicles. In this group of artisans and qualified workers record a deficit of around 500,000 young people to occupy the vacant positions left by the workers who retire in the next decade. In sectors such as public administration, difference is even more marked: For every 100 officials under 30 there are 690 over 50 years. This is one of the reasons why the Public Administration has stepped on the accelerator in the call for oppositions in which record figures have been reached. In the opposite pole, sectors linked to leisure and culture, Information and communications and hospitality are not affected by this mismatch in the generational relief since they attract a greater number of young people, contrasting with the low attraction of young professionals in industrial and administrative activities. Labor scarcity will impact the economy. The regions with the greatest presence of the most affected professional sectors such as Andalusia (Agriculture and Livestock) Catalonia and Madrid (industrial sectors), show the largest deficit figures of professionals in absolute numbers approaching (and even exceeding) close to half a million people. These communities stand out as the main focuses where the lack of generational relief will be more critical for the local and national economy since its active population percentage with respect to Spain’s total is also greater. Professional training as a key to relay. The report indicates The importance of professional training (FP) as a fundamental solution To face this deficit of new professionals in industrial sectors. According to their authors, the greatest imbalances are seen in the average grade, where there is a lower attraction of young people with respect to those of higher degree. In general terms, there is a lower generational gap among people occupied with FP. This is due to the ease of access to the labor market of young people studying professional training. However, the different branches of professional training must keep attracting young people during the next decades to balance the current deficit. On the other hand, the lack of young people trained in the care sector, whose growth is linked to demographic aging, and the talent migration of the abroad health sector complicate the balance in the generational relief. The report underlines the importance of achieving “young people stay in the territory” and connect their training with the business fabric to ensure effective relief.

“They ask you to get a good note to enter the race. You do it, but you can’t afford to live in the city where the university is.” Reflection He is from Carlos, a 21 -year -old university student who studies law and fights with the complicated task of looking for a rental that does not swallow his entire budget of the month, something that is not easy in a residential market of Shot pricesconditions Draconians and marked by The “boom” of tourist rentals. His is an isolated case. On the contrary, it reflects an increasingly worrying reality: the price of housing is costing Spain for more than families savings capacityhe is also spending his talent. “It affects the right to study”. That the price of housing influences the place where one can study their career is nothing new. It happened years ago. And decades. Even before the brick bubble. However, as rentals climb up to approach to the bubble peaks of 2007 and Spain entered a “Social Emergency” Marked by the house, the problem has become more and more serious. Have a roof today comes out and force tenants to assume conditions Hardwhich directly conditions students. It I recognized In 2024 the Minister of Science, Innovation and Universities, Diana Morantwhose department even signed A protocol with the Ministries of Economy and Housing precisely to promote “affordable” rental among university students. “The housing crisis is affecting the right to study a university career, Morant insisted. “Access to the university should only be limited by merit and personal effort, not for economic reasons.” “It’s a palmaria reality”. Morant is not the only one aware of the problem. The difficulties that young people find themselves when looking for accommodation worries to unions and even rectors, which They are not alien how the scale €/m2 of cities influences both or more in the future of students than selectivity. “The lack of accommodation is a Palmaria reality. We have 2,000 requests from place in residences for 1,000 squares,” I confessed recently to The country Ángel Arias, rector of the Carlos III University, who laments how difficult it is to solve the problem for the campus themselves. “Building a building is 25 million euros if you have the ground. It is 10% of the entire university budget.” Beyond Madrid and Barcelona. The problem is not exclusive to the great metropolis. “The issue of rates is not a great inconvenience to study at the university. What begins to be the limiting element? In some cities it is already the price of rental houses,” ditch Julián Garde, from the University of Castilla-La Mancha. Similarly, his Extremadura counterpart, Pedro Fernández, is expressed, convinced that the cost of registration no longer removes the dream of the students of the students. They do the rentals, the €/m2. “In Mérida and Cáceres there is a lot of accommodation availability that is used for tourism, and that makes the prices for the students have a lot.” How serious is the problem? Recently Live4lifea student specialized rental platform, launched A study which reveals that when deciding in which university 45% of young people are going to be formed are conditioned by a key factor: the rental price. Moreover, 58% rules out the most expensive cities and 64% indicate the cost of housing as its main obstacle, which conditions both their academic future and their way of looking for floors. “Young people delay as much as possible the search for a place to live during the university course. There are few offers and prices are rising, so they expect much more to see if they find any bargain,” assures The firm’s CEO, Alberto Añaños. The problem is aggravated if you take into account that more and more students They demand training outside their province of origin: in the 2022/2023 course they already exceeded 300,000 people, and many move to another autonomous community. Who do they do? Above all Students with parents with higher studies and good jobs, which suggests a social gap. “You have to pass some ‘hunger games’”. So far the perspective of politicians, rectors and researchers, but … how do the students themselves live? Eldiario.es published A report with testimonies of several university students who demonstrate how the high cost of the house (and the hardening of the requirements requested by the homemade) is conditioning their training. “There are people who are renouncing their university square for the impossibility of being able to pay a rental. If it is already difficult to access a place in the university, now the housing crisis adds one more lock,” Underline Coral Latorre, directive of the Student Union, before warning that this handicap does not affect everyone equally. It weighs mostly in the humblest homes. Idealist slopes. “My sister is 18 years old and has made selectivity. He wants confesses María Ángeles Guzmán, of the Coordinator of Representatives of Public University Students. Another young university student, Avril, 22, sees with impotence how the start date of his face -to -face master’s degree is approaching and does not yet have an apartment in which to stay. He had signed one and even paid to reserve it, but assures that the real estate company told her and her partner that the agreement could not be closed because they do not meet the conditions of “economic solvency study.” Is the house so expensive? The figures are eloquent again. According to Idealista, throughout the last decade (August 2015 to the same month of 2025), rentals have almost doubled in Spain: € 7.5/m2 have passed to 14.5. And that is the state average. In Madrid it went from € 11.9/m2 to 22.2 and in Barcelona from 12.3 to 23.1. They are relevant data because, in addition to being the largest cities in the country, they are also the ones that brings together greater concentration of universities.

Leticia Sabater’s career has given us at least two surprises. Who was going to think that the girl who touched the kids “at noon, joy” in them say that glorious Spain of 1992 I was going to end up singing ‘La Salchipapa’. But there is double impact: who was going to tell us that the singer of ‘La Salachipapa’ was going to become a Kitsch icon from the wild Tecno, taking good revenues from her indescribable songs and filling fair enclosures with the summer agenda full of bowling? Well that: who was going to tell us. The mythical Telecinco. What to say about Telecinco of Xuxa’s timethe momchicho, ‘vip night’ and ‘speaking is understood the basca’. Well, there was also Leticia Sabater. In 1990 he presented his first children’s program, ‘Do not miss it’, with Enrique Simón, but since 1991 he has already started tumbos for different Telecinco programs: ‘Breakfast with joy’ (1991-1993), ‘At noon, joy’ (1992-1993) and ‘Live the Compis’ (1992). Although he would still present some more children’s program in TVE, they would be those that would give him fame, since it was the containers where successful series such as ‘Lupin’, ‘Knights of the Zodiac’ or ‘Super Mario Bros’ were issued. Serious things. When Telecinco left behind the times of ‘Oh what heat’ And he turned to a less strident program, Leticia Sabater’s career went through a hiatus from which he left in a program of the local Channel 7, ‘dangerous lies’ (among others such as ‘Danube Azul’, ‘Your second honeymoon’ or even a child, ‘snack with Leticia’). The result was a memorable shout showinsults and embarrassment on set remotely inspired, in local TV version (with all that implies) in another television cathodic legend, Jerry Springer’s program. Although Leticia’s career would still have rope on television, in many competitions, realities and special interventions, let’s stay with ‘dangerous lies’. That turn towards the adult public friend of the knife and the desire, and very aware of the calaña of what he is seeing gave him the key to the next step of his career. The sausage. Not a decade ago ‘The sausage‘He entered our lives, and it seems that he has always carried there. But who has almost always the music of Leticia, who launched a few success albums between children and youth audiences in her telecinquera stage, with successful themes such as’Your favorite neighbor‘. Since 2011 adult music is reoriented, with a trchante version of ‘He went away‘And issues clearly oriented to the gay market, such as’ Mr. Policeman ‘and’ Gay Universe ‘. However, nothing prepared us for the sauspapa, a virtually amateur production song and clearly oriented to conquer the throne of the summer song, Latin -style Latin -style subsection of King Africa, to which the song imitates without complexes. But it was a funny crash with Lalachus (who tweeted “for the fans of Kuala Lumpur de Leticia Sabater” and the artist, the artist, Thinking that he had insulted him“Huala Lampur replied will be your motherfucker”) what viralized ‘La Salchipapa’ arriving in the following days to three million views. New milestones. Since then, Leticia Sabater has tried ‘The Polvorrón‘, ’18 centimeters dad’ or ‘Brown me on the turkey‘, who musically approach the involuntary experimental pop of FLOS MARIAE. The funny thing is that despite being such a clear product of niche, Leticia Sabater has considerable popularity:. With One million followers on Instagramits concert agenda is always full: in the summer of 2024, for example, He gave 24 concerts only in Aragon. With a 2500 euro cache for a set of six songs, Leticia Sabater is far from being a Freak further. This is Leticia’s youth. Undoubted Millennial. That success is what has led him to put 10,000 people in a tent Installed in Biota, a town of 800 inhabitants, and the images of their concerts leave no doubt about their predication among the youngest. The ability to earn that audience comes, without a doubt, to embrace without complexes its category of Camp and Kitsch vehicle capable of transcending generations, becoming for example a meme with its Participation in the musical ‘fronze’ in a circusreplicating the success of Disney’s ‘Frozen’. Generation Z values ​​content that is authentically extravagant, not simulated, and flees from the cool poses spent Millennials and previous generations. Leticia Sabater’s ability to generate visceral reactions of laughter or rejection and his lack of pretensions give you a Halo of authenticity than the most young people appreciateinheriting the passion for internet culture by personality without filters Of so many Influencers.

It was hired by Spacex at age 14. Now, with 16, the young genius has turned his back on Elon Musk to go to Wall Street

by

His history turned the world. Kairan Quazi graduated at the University of Santa Clara with 14 years. Almost immediately, He was signed as Spacex software engineer. Now, the young prodigy has abandoned Elon Musk’s space company to work in finance. The youngest employee of Spacex. He was not a fellow they sent for cafes. For two years, Kairan was one of Starlink engineers, the Spacex satellite Internet network. His work was critical: he designed the software that determines where the satellites point their beams to offer a stable connection. “I had a very broad field of work and a lot of responsibility, especially for a junior engineer,” Count the boy to Business Insider. Spacex expected him to lead projects from beginning to end: develop ideas, present them to other engineers and address, implement them and supervise the deployments. With 16 years, I needed a change. After two years at the aerospace avant -garde, Kairan Quazi felt prepared to “assume new challenges and expand their skills” in a different high performance environment. The young prodigy received offers from the most leading artificial intelligence laboratories, but it was a proposal of Citadel Securities, a trading giant, which finally convinced him to leave Spacex. Now work as quant unaveloper developing financial models. Quants, the elite of programming. The decision to change rockets for financial algorithms is not accidental. For the best mathematicians and software engineers, only artificial intelligence competes in attractiveness with the world of finance specialized in quantitative analysis. With millionaire wages, the Quants sector combines the complexity and intellectual challenge of other sectors with a much faster rhythm, measurable in days, not in months as in many research environments. In algorithmic trading, an idea is tested, implemented and gives results (for better or worse) in a matter of hours. For the rest, a teenager. Kairan valued that Citadel Securities did not take into account his age or his years of experience when offering opportunities. But sometimes he has to remember that he is a teenager. During his stage in Spacex, his mother had to take him to work every day because, with 14 years, he had no driving license. The episode in which LinkedIn erased the account for not having fulfilled the minimum age of 16. From Silicon Valley to Wall Street. Kairan was born in the San Francisco Bay area and He began his university studies with nine years. After his early entry into the working world, he now moves to Manhattan, where he will live 10 minutes walk from the office. This Bangladesí-American, fond of reading, video games, escalation and piano, lands in a city that already knows for its family roots in Queens.

Work no longer prevents 30% of young people from being at risk of poverty and we have found the reason: housing

by

The existing gap between the cost of life and salaries in Spain calls into question that having a job (even when it is stable) is already a subsistence guarantee without falling at risk of poverty. According to him last report From the Emancipation Observatory of the Youth Council of Spain, around 30% of young people in Spain live at risk of poverty or social exclusion, even having a job. Work no longer guarantees to avoid poverty. Having a job has ceased to be synonym for security for children under 30 years. According to data from the Emancipation Observatory report, 18.8% of the young people working are at risk of poverty. This figure almost doubles the 2009 data and confirms the wear of the labor market as a protective shield. The report indicates that for Those who have no job The reality is even more severe: more than 52.1% of unemployed young people live under the threshold of poverty, twice the average of the total population. The salary goes up and lowers youth strike. The figures released by the report reveal that, although the Medium salary Juvenile rose 11.4% in 2024 reaching 14,046 euros per year, a good part of young people cannot guarantee sufficient quality of life With that salary. 53.6% of young people between 16 and 29 do not have their own income, and in 14.9% of young households none of its members have a job. The Observatory recognizes that youth unemployment figures have improved by lowering to 19.1%, their lowest value since 2007. However, it remains at a high 24.9% unemployment between children under 25 and 35.5% among those who combine work with the studies. In addition, 36.2% of occupied youth It is overwhelmed for employment What does it perform. The inequality of women and young people with less studies. Women and young people with fewer studies are the most exposed to the threshold of poverty even having a stable job. The risk of poverty affects 31.1% of young women compared to 28.9% among men, and the gap is extended when the educational level decreases. In addition, according to The published by Infobaeyoung men earn 1,929 euros more a year than their companions, a significant salary distance that equals more than one monthly payment. The vault key: housing. In the epicenter of this economic precariousness is the one who, According to the January 2025 barometer Prepared by the CIS, it is the main concern of the Spaniards: the exorbitant prices of housing. The difficulties for access a home own have aggravated the situation and Emancipation rate of young people(Data that represents the number of young people who can leave the family home to start their vital project) in Spain was just 14.8% during the first half of 2024, the lowest level recorded since you have registration. A wall for emancipation. Access to your own home has become Mission almost impossible For the young. As published in the report, The base rental It is around 1,080 euros per month, which means that a young person must dedicate 92.3% of their salary to housing if they want to live alone. The purchase option is not much more optimistic. The Observatory estimates the average sale price of housing in about 197,210 euros, which is equivalent to 14 years of a current average youth salary. Only the entrance for housing (estimated at 59,163 euros) is already about four years of salary, making youth emancipation more complicated. Given this real estate context, 57.9% of young people who manage to emancipate rent. Of these, almost a third share a flat to be able to assume the expenses. However, this is not an affordable alternative either. The average price of a room in shared floor It amounts to 375 euros per month, equivalent to 35.8% of the monthly net salary of a young man. These percentages exceed the spending threshold for the internationally recommended housing, set at 30%.

How the Latin Party of the 15 years is peering among the young people from Madrid

by

In the Community of Madrid they live more than one million From Latin Americans, people born in Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela Peru or Uruguay (the complete countries around twenty) who work in businesses in the region, go to the same parks as the native population and have children who study in the same schools. That is why it is not strange that customs and traditions be infected. And that something like ’15 -year party’a celebration that until not so much celebrated only Latinas, start to turn on Madrid’s homes. Nothing that did not happen before with other traditions. Quinceañera To the Spanish. That in Spain parties of the 15 years are celebrated is no novelty. As the Latin population increased in our country, customs, traditions and products that until not so much was difficult to see on this side of the Atlantic were also extended. The quinceañera party It is a good example. The also known as ’15 -year -old party’ or quino is a celebration with which families mark the transit of childhood to maturity. And what are they? The staging can vary from one celebration to another or between regions, but there are some elements that are often repeated: Dresses Princess Styles (even with Cancán and Tiaras), bright colors, friends, chamblanes, cakes, dances … Everything, of course, focused on the great protagonist, the young woman who celebrates her 15 years and, with them, the transition from girl to adult woman. In the quinceañera celebrations it is common for this step to symbolize in different ways. In some countries, parents change the young woman’s footwear, replacing shoes with heel shoes, or the protagonist delivers her last doll to stage that leaves the childhood behind. Although There are those who go back The roots of the celebration of pre -Columbian cultures are not strange that the holidays include Christian action masses and sermons of priests. Expanding phenomenon. You may not know its details or history, but surely the concept sounds like you and you have seen photos of Quinceañeras In networks. Normal. A Fast search In Google shows news of 2017 or even 2014 in which there was already talk of how the holidays were spreading in Spain. At that time the norm was that behind those celebrations there would always be a young woman of Latin American roots. Today it is no longer so. A few days ago The country public A report in which he reveals that they are already organizing ceremonies for Madrid girls, Spanish families and without cultural ties with Latin America. “From 30 events, 10”. The phenomenon is better understood with the help of María Carolina Triviño, director of We will be Latina company based in Madrid that has specialized in this kind of ceremonies. While works above all with families from Honduras and Paraguay, it is no longer uncommon for their door to call Spaniards who want their daughters to celebrate the Quinceañera. “From more than 30 events, 10 have been for Spanish. And they always start the same: they came to a 15 -year party as guests of their Latin friends and encapricated,” Comment Triviño The influence comes through both friends and networks. In Tiktok they can be found A good handful Of videos about 15 -year parties, material in which as triviño acknowledges, girls are inspired to choose costumes and cuts. The country He has also spoken with Ana Rodríguez, a 50 -year -old from Madrid, to whom one day his daughter told him that he wanted to celebrate “his 15”. She had never heard of the party. His daughter yes, through her groups of friends and Tiktok. “It’s like Halloween or Pope Noél”. The ceremonies “of the 15” among young Spaniards may be new. Its context, no. Input because it is not the first celebration or foreign tradition that rootes in Spain. Before other parties have already done it through cinema or by simple imitation. “It’s like Halloween or Santa Claus, they don’t ask where it comes from, they just want to celebrate it because they see it around them,” Rodríguez comments. She herself confirms that in her environment, in Pozuelo, there are more Spanish who want to celebrate their own parties. “They don’t understand”. “Spanish parents don’t understand anything, but their daughters are clear: they want 15 photos, like their Latin friends. The other day a father told me: ‘This is going to be like Halloween. Before no one celebrated it and now everyone does it’”, agrees Sergio Saavedra, founder of a company dedicated to rent dresses for quinceañeras. Photos and costumes are two pillars of the party. “Latin girls do not want to give up their own and the Spanish do not want to stay out,” Point out Another entrepreneur who has seen a business opportunity. Not so strange. Another explanation that quinceañeras ceremonies They are rooting in Spanish homes is that the concept, in reality, is not so alien to us. Decades ago in Madrid, ‘parties of the 15’ were not seen, but they were held long when the young women fulfilled the age of majority. Between each other there are differences, but also similarities: celebrations centered on young people, dresses, social acts and a ceremony that in the end seek to highlight the passage of childhood to maturity. Today they continue to be held, although they are usually associated with certain social extracts. It is culture, and it is demography. If there is something that explains the pull of the Quinceañeras It is nevertheless demography. In Spain, many more Latin Americans reside today than a few decades, so it is normal for society to soak up its traditions. On January 1, 2024, the INE counted in the Madrid region just over one million people born in Latin American countries, which means that one in seven Inhabitants was born in Latin American countries. The data multiplies by which it was recorded at the end of the 20th century, when it did not even reach 100,000. And it is … Read more

In Japan, a young man has devised the best way to leave at his time and not make extra hours: found his own religion

by

Work overload is one of Japan’s most serious problems, taking employees to collapse due to exhaustion. Despite the numerous measures that have been launched To protect workers, thousands of people are pressed to extend your workday Without compensation. In many cases, these eternal days generate physical and mental consequences They can be fatal. A Japanese young man has found an unexpected and legally protected form of getting rid of the so feared extra hours: founding his own religion. One that prohibits working beyond their working hours. The only commandment of Hista: You will go out at your time. In 2018, Motohiro Histano, tired of the workload and culture that surrounded him, decided to found a new religion he called Motohiro to Peoplealso known as MTOP. This was not going to be a religion like any other: it does not promise eternal life or demand penance for its faithful. Only offers a clear commandment: to refuse to work hours, arguing “religious reasons” not to do so, Point out on the webof the cult. He said In several statementshis main objective was to offer a valid (and legally respected) excuse to get out of work at his time. “The ‘religious reasons’ are the most powerful reasons in the world of reasons. I do not do miracles or have super powers. I only grant the power of the ‘religious reasons’ to those who follow me,” said Hista in Your message Foundational THE SACRED BOOK OF HISAN. If Judaism has the Torah, Islam the Qur’ Japan Labor Standards Law. The Japanese labor legislation provides strong protection against discrimination For reasons of sex, race or religion to its workers, so it is expressly forbidden to impose rules or retaliate against them for these reasons. That diligence in the protection of religious feelings was the one that gave the idea to Hista to found his church. If a religion dictates that “Nége to work overtime overtime, because it is bad to spend your time on things you do not want to do”, as faithful, the employee must follow those precepts. So the company will have no choice but to accept it, or assume a demand for religious discrimination. Pray to x. To make this religion the only thing that is needed is to follow An X account and join the followers of “Free Lance God“(The God free of responsibilities). As reads in his bio, religion has as many faithful as followers marks the accountant. At the moment, 17,100 faithful to the God that allows you to leave work at your time. Hista’s religion is laughing, reality does not. As with others Parodic religions like that of pastefarism, or the insumiso pussy, Motohiro to People adopts humor as a tool for denounce work injustices present in the daily life of Japanese society in the form of satire and social criticism. The work overload and eternal working hours have plunged Japan into a Demographic winter with Birth for soils and an aged labor market. Authorities and companies are promoting labor conciliation measures oriented not only to improve birth rate allowing families to compatible working life With the care of childrenin addition to Improve productivity promoting him employee welfare. Hista’s religion is a complaint to all this culture of toxic work that prevents people from having a life beyond work. In Xataka | In Japan there are parents named “Pikachu” to their children.
