Summary: Young people are the future of Europe. Our mission is to create the conditions for ensuring their optimal development and providing them with the best opportunities to be active on the labour market and in society. But young people were also the hardest hit during the crisis and according to a recent Eurobarometer, half of Europe’s young people feel excluded and marginalised from participating meaningfully in social and economic life. Youth unemployment must continue to be tackled head-on if we are to fully harness the dynamism and potential of Europe’s people, and all instruments available at EU and national level must be mobilised fully. This is also the objective of the new Youth Initiative announced in the 2016 Letter of Intent addressed to the President of the European Parliament and to the President of the Council where existing processes that work are continued and reinforced and new instruments are established to address issues not sufficiently covered. This report and its conclusions are part of this initiative. |
