The number of young people leaving Lithuania has decreased significantly compared to a decade ago, with more youth choosing to work domestically, though they have high demands. Young job seekers prioritize more than just financial compensation, being willing to voice their needs and change jobs if dissatisfied. They tend to be more willing to take risks and change roles frequently. Similar trends are observed in Greece, where young people in the private sector seek good pay and leisure time, while the public sector is valued for stability, though it is not their first choice. Employers are adapting to these changes, as the new generation of employees demands more than just salary. While salary remains important, younger workers are pushing employers to offer greater flexibility, remote work options, various benefits, training, and attention to mental well-being. Job portals remain the primary method for young people to search for jobs, even with the prevalence of social media, as these platforms are specifically designed for the job search process and are evolving to include modern demands like flexible work. Social media serves as a supplementary marketing tool for employers, but the initial contact between employers and young job seekers most often occurs on job advertising portals.
