“The question of youth employment: the necessity of a common effective EU policy to dispel the fear of unemployment among young people.”
Dear delegates of the committee on Employment and Social Affairs,
During our committee sessions, you will be working on a Resolution, that consists of Informative Clauses (ICs), which point out the problems, and Operative Clauses (OCs), which should solve these problems.
Below you will find several links concerning youth employment in Europe, which display the current situation quite well. Some information will seem familiar to you already, however, consider reading through the links to refresh you memories.
If something is unclear, please feel free to ask
Laura Kmentt or Laura Untner, your Committee Presidents (CPs), or
Carmen Haugeneder, your Student Media Officer (SMO).
