Nguyen Thanh Tung, 22, graduated from university in June 2020, and was thrilled to enter a new stage in life. But reality turned out to be harsher than he thought as he spent four months looking for a job in Hanoi and HCMC only to be repeatedly told "they will contact me when the Covid-19 pandemic is contained." He then decided to apply for a graduate course in the U.S. and was admitted, but the university has canceled on-campus classes meaning Tung cannot leave. "It is like someone has pressed the pause button on my life, and I do not know how to find my play button amid this pandemic." Millions of other young people share his plight as colleges are closed, jobs are hard to find and mental and financial issues grow.

Many students have been unable to cope with virtual classes and the hiatus in extracurricular activities. "Sometimes I cannot keep track of the lessons, or just get bored of sitting in front of the computer for hours, and so feel like I have failed to prepare well enough for my final exams," Nguyen Ba Nghia, a sophomore at the Hanoi University of Science and Technology, said. Many young people have also been severely affected by the job market slump .

In the third quarter the youth unemployment rate was 7.24 percent, 4.2 times the rate among people aged over 25. On Facebook groups for headhunters and applicants, many people, mostly those embarking on a career, complain about how difficult it is to find a job. "I spent five months looking for a job and got an internship, and then they told me they will not sign a contract because they want to cut their spending amid …
