EU Youth Report
The EU Youth
Report 2012 summarises the results of the first work cycle of the EU
Youth Strategy (2010-2012) and proposes priorities for the next three
years. It presents new and revealing statistics on how the situation of
young people in the European Union has been affected by the financial
crisis.
According to the
EU Youth Report, nearly all Member States report that the EU Youth
Strategy has reinforced existing priorities at national level since it
was launched in January 2010. This includes focusing on education,
employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for young people,
promoting social inclusion and health and providing young people with
opportunities to take active part in society. The EU Youth
Report proposes new priorities for the coming three years. The report
highlights that youth employment will remain high on the EU agenda. For
the coming years, the Strategy should focus more on the consequences of
the current crisis on young people. This means more emphasis on social
inclusion and health & well-being.
All Member
States have submitted national reports which feed into both the
Communication and the SWDs. Young people have been consulted in drawing
up these reports, and different ministries have contributed. All
national reports are posted here.
