| description | "For most young people, finding productive and decent work is a coming-of-age symbol that marks the transition from childhood to adulthood. In finding employment, young people should gain independence and a freedom of choice about their lives. Unfortunately, the employment opportunities available to millions of young people are limited, making it inevitable that youth remain dependent on their families for a longer period of time. If family ties do not exist or break down, young people become increasingly exposed to the risks of leaving school prematurely and of being exploited in the labour force. This report gathers the latest information available in order to analyse labour market conditions for young people. Knowing the details of the problem is the starting point for formulating policies that fight against one of today’s most urgent global challenges. Unless the potential of young people can be used in a productive way, neither youth nor economies as a whole will face a bright future." |
