Youth in Europe

Young people have been hit particularly hard by the economic crisis. Across Europe millions of them are effectively disengaged – not in employment, education or training. As well as the severe impact on these young people and their families, there is an enormous social and economic cost to this disengagement.

This Eurofound spotlight on 'Youth in Europe' covers economic and social issues affecting young people – education and training, unemployment, social inclusion, labour market integration, health problems, quality of life, mobility and migration.
