Within the framework of the
"Youth for Europe" programme, DG EAC
commissioned a "Study on the State of Young
People and Youth Policy in Europe" to the
IARD Institute (Milan). This study is the outcome
of the active collaboration between European
research institutes in the 15 member states,
Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland.
The work is divided into three
main sections:
-
the first one is dedicated to
the conditions of youth in all 18 European
countries;
-
the second one is about youth
policy in the same countries;
-
the last section deals with
"Education and Training of Youth workers
in Europe".
The impressive study identifies
the main problems and challenges faced by the
young generations and focuses on some particular
issues such us education and training, labour
market, well-being, health and values,
organisational and political participation and the
"European dimension". It contains
general and national reports to each of the three
above-mentioned focal points and provides some
additional policy reflections and recommendations
to help foster initiatives in the Youth field.
The study was presented in
Brussels, on June 26th.
