What challenges do regional labour markets in Vietnam and in Hesse share? And what can each side learn from the other’s solutions?

Adolescence is a period when teenagers may be experimenting with risky or rule-breaking behaviors such as skipping school, drinking, lying, or staying out past their curfew. When parents find out, their natural response is often to warn their child: Continue with the behavior and you’ll incur stricter rules, less freedom, and the loss of privileges.
