The Building and Wood Workers’ International (BWI) is pleased to launch its Global Youth Survey 2026, following a decision of the International Youth Committee (IYC) and building on the successful initiative first introduced by the Asia-Pacific Youth Committee.

The survey aims to assess how BWI affiliates are addressing young workers’ issues, implementing youth policies, and strengthening the representation of young workers within union structures. It will also help measure progress since our previous global survey was conducted in 2020.

The survey is shorter and easier to complete than previous editions, while still providing valuable information that will help shape BWI's future youth strategies and activities.

Complete the survey here by 15 July.

The survey is currently available in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Serbo-Croatian, Turkish, and Arabic. Additional language versions can be provided where needed.

Your participation is essential to ensuring that the voices of young workers continue to shape the future of our unions and our movement.

Thank you for your support and solidarity.
