\"\"<\/p>\n

Unpaid internships are often seen as an important\u00a0rite of passage<\/a>\u00a0for college students. And with good reason. Studies have found that students\u00a0acquire new skills and networks<\/a>\u00a0that enhance their job prospects.<\/p>\n

In the years just after graduating from college, students who have an internship are\u00a015% less likely to be unemployed<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0earn 6% more<\/a>\u00a0than students who did not. Simply put, an internship is\u00a0widely viewed<\/a>\u00a0as a \u201cmust-have\u201d experience for college students.<\/p>\n

However, as researchers who study how students\u00a0transition from college<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0into the workforce<\/a>, we note that it is clear that asking college students to work for free is problematic. We believe the value of unpaid internships is even more questionable due to the economic challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Besides the legal and ethical questions of not paying people for their work, unpaid internships also\u00a0favor students from affluent families<\/a>. The reason is that they can afford to forgo a paycheck and the high cost of living in big cities such as New York and Washington, D.C., where many internships are located.<\/p>\n

Class divide<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For some observers, like the legal scholar Jessica Curiale, unpaid internships have effectively created a \u201cclass divide<\/a>.\u201d This divide is due to the fact that low- and middle-income students often cannot afford to pursue unpaid internships, which adds to the challenges these students\u00a0already face<\/a>\u00a0in graduating and gaining access to well-paying jobs.<\/p>\n

But during a pandemic marked by\u00a0an economy with continuing uncertainties and layoffs<\/a>, these longstanding problems are even worse. Consider that students today must deal with the\u00a0constant stress<\/a>\u00a0of a deadly virus. They also must face isolation wrought by constantly changing campus policies and\u00a0online coursework<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On top of that, they must figure out\u00a0how to pay<\/a>\u00a0for their grocery, rent and tuition bills.<\/p>\n

Pandemic problems<\/strong><\/h4>\n

At the same time,\u00a040% of college students lost an internship, job or job offer<\/a>\u00a0in the spring of 2020. Also,\u00a0nearly 60% of college students<\/a>\u00a0experienced\u00a0food insecurity<\/a>\u00a0or homelessness in early 2020, worsening these two\u00a0longstanding and widespread problems<\/a>\u00a0in higher education.<\/p>\n

Making matters worse is the fact that many students will soon be graduating into an economy with\u00a0high unemployment<\/a>, which\u00a0historically is linked<\/a>\u00a0to lowered prospects for earnings, advancement and future employment.<\/p>\n

These problems are\u00a0leading some students to worry<\/a>\u00a0whether their hard work and loans will result in not just their dream job, but any job.<\/p>\n

Should the COVID-19 pandemic represent the end of unpaid internships? And if the answer is yes, then can government, employers and philanthropists fully fund all internships for students in college?<\/p>\n

Ways to pay<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Some unpaid internships are\u00a0technically legal<\/a>\u00a0if they are primarily an\u00a0educational experience<\/a>. But based on current conditions, we contend that the very\u00a0notion of unpaid work is indefensible<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is no small problem. An\u00a0analysis of 675,594 internship postings<\/a>\u00a0in 2019 revealed that 71% did not list any pay.<\/p>\n

It could be that those postings simply lacked information about compensation in job descriptions. However, data from our national\u00a0College Internship Study<\/a>\u00a0indicate that unpaid internships are prevalent. In our\u00a0survey of 3,809 students at 13 schools<\/a>, 43% of the student interns had an internship that was unpaid.<\/p>\n

Research on unpaid internships also shows that these positions tend to be concentrated in certain majors and jobs. A University of Georgia study found that political science, journalism and human development majors were\u00a0more likely to pursue unpaid internships<\/a>\u00a0than their counterparts in business or agricultural programs.<\/p>\n

In our\u00a0own research<\/a>, we found that 76% of unpaid interns are women and that 55% intern at nonprofits.<\/p>\n

Below we propose three ways to make paid internships more plentiful and available to all students.<\/p>\n

1. Ban unpaid internships in the federal government<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As the nation\u2019s largest employer and host to\u00a0legions of interns in Washington, D.C.<\/a>, the federal government is in a unique position to send a message to employers across the nation that interns must be paid for their work.<\/p>\n

This is precisely what U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from New York, intended when she announced in 2018 that all interns in her office would be\u00a0paid US$15 an hour<\/a>. The cause has since been taken up by other\u00a0Capitol Hill offices<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Pay Our Interns<\/a>, a nonprofit that is seeking to increase paid internships.<\/p>\n

To begin funding these government positions, Congress and the\u00a0Biden administration<\/a>\u00a0could allocate funding in upcoming stimulus packages for college students to work as paid interns in federal, state and local government offices. Efforts should be made to find other sources of funding to pay interns over the long term.<\/p>\n

2. Create tax breaks and grants for employers that hire student interns<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Creating tax breaks and grant programs is especially important because many potential hosts of interns, especially small businesses and nonprofits, struggle to allocate staff time or resources to adequately support them, whether or not they\u2019re paid.<\/p>\n

With many state and local government budgets\u00a0drained by the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>, federal funding may be required to allow state governments to convert unpaid positions in state agencies into paid internships.<\/p>\n

3. Fund paid internships at nonprofits<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Nonprofits\u00a0regularly bring<\/a>\u00a0unpaid interns on board for weeks or months at a time. Many nonprofits have also been hit\u00a0particularly hard<\/a>\u00a0during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Funding paid internships at nonprofits would help them\u00a0weather increased demand for their services<\/a>, while also reducing the overall number of unpaid positions.<\/p>\n

As the COVID-19 pandemic\u00a0continues to worsen inequality in society<\/a>, ending the use of unpaid interns is one way to help turn things around.<\/p>\n
