• Workers under 24 years of age are the only age group that earns less today than in 2008, unlike the average 18% increase in other age groups.
• The average entry wage for workers aged 25 to 34 is lower than the average wage.
• Spain's real estate market has grown 78% in the last decade, which along with frozen wages, makes it harder for young people to become independent.
• The country suffers from overqualification, with 36% of young people having a higher educational level than required in their jobs.
• Poor working conditions for young people have an estimated cost of 2.5% of GDP for the Spanish economy.

Conclusion: The imbalance between the rise in the cost of living and frozen wages for young people has severe consequences for their quality of life and impacts them into adulthood, as well as being an economic burden for the country.
