Stories of the Pandemic : the experiences of millennial and generation Y workers in Ireland, a TASC social listening project

Abstract

This collection of stories reveals the multiple layers of uncertainty people are facing at the moment due to the COVID-19 public health emergency – and their own reflections on the challenges that may lie ahead. This second, specific collection looks at the experiences of "millennial" and "generation y" workers living in Ireland, aged 32 to 41 years old, who are now facing an imminent second economic recession at a crucial moment in their working lives. *Note that the names and some details of these stories have been changed to ensure anonymity*. These 10 stories were collected via phone interviews over a two week period from the 5 May to the 20 May 2020. This project is on-going, and we are looking for more individuals affected by Covid-19 to share their experiences with us. If you would like to share your story, do not hesitate to get in touch with the TASC administrator John White at contact@tasc.ie
