How are students adapting to the financial shortfall, and what broader societal impacts are observed?

Students employ various strategies, including part-time jobs (often exceeding 30 hours/week), long commutes (up to two hours each way), and foregoing social events or internships. The rising number of students working part-time (68% in 2023, up from 35% in 2015) reflects a broader issue of insufficient student financial support and increasing living costs.

What are the immediate consequences of the ongoing labor dispute between Canada Post and CUPW, and how does it impact Canadians?

The 19-month labor dispute between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) escalated when CUPW filed an unfair labor practice complaint, alleging Canada Post interfered in negotiations by directly communicating with employees. This follows Canada Post's rejected arbitration proposal and its attempt to bypass the union by holding a direct employee vote on a new collective agreement. The core conflict centers on Canada Post's push to increase part-time positions, which the union opposes.

How has the increase in part-time contracts, specifically fixed-discontinuous contracts, affected the level of job precarity and income inequality in Spain?

While the number of permanent contracts increased by 24% (from 12.6 million to 15.7 million) between late 2021 and late 2024, this improvement is offset by a surge in part-time work. The number of part-time workers rose to over 3 million, with fixed-discontinuous contracts (a type of part-time contract with periods of unemployment) doubling since 2019, reaching 706,000. This masks a considerable level of precarious employment.
