Education to employment getting europes youth into workFranco Ferrario
Â
Youth unemployment in Europe remains high, with over 5.6 million young people unemployed across the EU. While young people want to work, over half say they cannot find jobs, and businesses struggle to find applicants with the right skills. The authors conducted research in 8 European countries and identified 3 main hurdles young people face: 1) the cost of education, lack of information on options, and bias against vocational education; 2) not learning sufficient general skills; and 3) difficulty transitioning to work after education. Only 10% of youth have successful pathways from education to employment, while 79% lack support and are unhappy with their prospects. Employers also face challenges, with less than half satisfied with workforce skills levels.
