The New Zealand Council of Trade Unions youth network Stand Up is undertaking credible research into the economic impact of Covid-19 for New Zealand’s young workers.

Anyone who usually works in New Zealand is encouraged to participate through a survey that can be completed electronically by mobile phone or computer.

The survey includes questions to confirm demographics (age, industry etc) and how the Covid-19 lockdown has impacted on young workers employment and income.

Anyone in the 18-25 demographic can participate via https://massey.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1RAFEURh4VEAJqB
