The Olympic committee has faced severe setbacks over the past few months. Recently, the organization banned alcohol for the public, leading to fans who purchased the costly tickets to leave saddening comments on social media. Furthermore, the committee also imposed a hijab ban on the French athletes participating in the event, causing severe backlash and furore.

However, after the dismay faced by the committee months before the Paris Olympics 2024, the International Committee announced a major update on social media. This new initiative by the committee will work towards diminishing poverty and helping with the residential crisis in Paris before the Olympics is up and running.

Olympic Committee’s new initiative to socially incentivize people

On October 31st, IOC media posted an intriguing update on X. According to the tweet, “Paris 2024 brings urban regeneration to areas with some of the highest unemployment and poverty rates in France.” “Residents will benefit from a boost in sports-related employment, an increase in cycling lanes and green public spaces, and a range of health education and inclusion initiatives.” The committee will generate up to 15,000 jobs in many sectors and the public will have a chance to work in the tourism, catering, construction, and event organization sectors.

Furthermore, the committee, in collaboration with trade unions, decided to act as a springboard to provide job opportunities. According to the implication implied by the organization, ten percent of the working hours will be generated by the unemployed, a web platform called EMPLOIS 2024 will provide a list of all the job opportunities present, and lastly, the authorities will also provide training opportunities to the young generation of France to pave their way towards employment.
