Maxime Guillet, 21 years, Montreal, Canada
 Maxime (Quebec)
Work: Comedian and delivery man for a fast food restaurant
Conditions at work: Part-time for the restaurant and self-employed as a comedian. My working hours are not sure, my salary is not stable. I always have to be available if I am offered a job as a comedian, otherwise I can rapidly get a negative reputation and no more contracts will be offered to me as I will be considered “difficult”. I need an agent because everything goes through them. So I have additional expenses. If I want a job to get money, I have to spend money before that.
Dream: I have a dream that all young workers have a salary that allows them to have a decent standard of living, without forcing them to have several jobs at the same time.
Why: Because all human beings have a right to dignity and to the development of their skills, which is not possible if they are too exhausted physically and morally.

Kirin Arif, 21 years, Youhanaabad, Pakistan
My name is Kiran Arif, I am 21 years old. My mother's name is Rashida. I live in Youhanaabad and I am working in a garment factory in Roi Pand. I have one year experience of this job and I earn Rs 5000 per month here.
This company forces us to do a lot of work and pay us less, with no limitation on working time which has a
bad impact on our heath because we don’t have time for other activities. We are doing this job only because of our family needs or problems.
Dream: I want to get a higher education and want to support my family by getting a better job. To achieve this I build relationships with educated people and get useful information from them. I keep praying and managing my life and try to get useful information from people who are working for young workers like the YCW.
