The number of young people leaving Lithuania has decreased significantly compared to a decade ago, with more youth choosing to work domestically but setting higher demands for employment. Young job seekers prioritize factors beyond just salary, being willing to voice their needs and change jobs frequently if conditions are unsatisfactory. Similar trends are observed in Greece, where private sector workers seek good pay and leisure time, while the public sector is valued for stability, though neither is a primary choice. Employers are adapting to these changes; while salary remains crucial, younger generations demand flexible working hours, remote work options, additional benefits, training, and attention to mental well-being. Job portals remain the primary tool for job searching among youth, even with social media’s influence, as they offer specialized functions and adapt to new trends by including flexible terms and extra perks. Social media serves as a supplementary marketing tool for employers, but the initial contact between potential young employees and employers most often occurs on dedicated job advertising portals.
