Jobs and money
The pandemic has changed girls and young women’s ideas about what jobs they’d like to do in the future.
The pandemic has motivated girls and young women to think about new possibilities in the world of work.
Their priorities have changed. Many girls felt inspired by keyworkers and NHS staff and want to do work that makes a difference. Others want to find work that matches their passions. And the move to remote working has had an impact too, as some girls are now considering careers they can do online. But they are still worried about what the pandemic will mean for their job opportunities and finances.
‘After doing everything online I’ve changed my perspective on my future, I now want to do streaming like online games on Twitch or YouTube’— Girl, 11-13
