Council conclusions on enhancing the social inclusion of young people not in employment, education or training

2014/C 30/03

THE COUNCIL AND THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL:

ACKNOWLEDGE THAT:

| 1. | Young women and men are an important resource of Europe. They represent potential for today and the future; however, they face many challenges such as unemployment and related social problems (1). In order to emerge from the current crisis and to prevent similar problems in the future, all Member States have to take immediate actions aimed at promoting youth employment, education and training, participation and social inclusion of young people. |

1.

Young women and men are an important resource of Europe. They represent potential for today and the future; however, they face many challenges such as unemployment and related social problems (1). In order to emerge from the current crisis and to prevent similar problems in the future, all Member States have to take immediate actions aimed at promoting youth employment, education and training, participation and social inclusion of young people.

1

| 2. | Young people not in an employment, education or training situation (hereinafter — young people in a NEET situation) (2) can face negative social conditions, such as isolation, lack of autonomy, involvement in risky behaviour, and unstable mental and physical health, which expose them to higher risks of unemployment and social exclusion later in life. Social exclusion of young people, in particular young people in a NEET situation, can have negative consequences for the economy and significant costs for Europe. In 2011, the economic loss due to the disengagement of young people from the labour market was 153 billion euro. This is a conservative estimate and corresponds to 1,2 % of EU GDP (3). |

| 3. | Young people in a NEET situation are more or less vulnerable, with different characteristics and needs. Therefore, an individually tailored approach is needed in order to effectively and successfully (re)integrate them into the labour market, the education or training system, and social life. |

Young people in a NEET situation are more or less vulnerable, with different characteristics and needs. Therefore, an individually tailored approach is needed in order to effectively and successfully (re)integrate them into the labour market, the education or training system, and social life.

| 4. | This approach has been recognised by the Council Recommendation on establishing a Youth Guarantee, adopted on 22 April 2013 (4). This Recommendation sets out that all young people under the age of 25 should receive a good-quality offer of employment, continued education, an apprenticeship or a traineeship within a period of four months of becoming unemployed or leaving formal education (5). |

Risk factors that increase the danger of falling into a NEET situation are often a combination of personal, economic, educational and social circumstances.

| 7. | Youth work, voluntary activities, active citizenship, and non-formal and informal learning can play an important and complementary role by bringing added value for all young people, especially those in a NEET situation, in the transition to the labour market: building bridges between education and employment systems, complementing the formal education system, providing self-confidence, social capital and self-development, and increasing soft and technical skills that enhance employability. |

| 8. | The Joint Conclusions of the EU Youth Conference organised by the Lithuanian Presidency from 9 to 12 September, 2013, emphasise the need to adapt education to the needs of young people and the demands of the labour market, to facilitate the transition from education to employment and to improve conditions for young people’s integration into the labour market (6). |

CONSIDER THAT:

| 9. | Evaluation and assessment of existing research, systems and programmes at local, regional, national and European levels related to young people in a NEET situation are needed in order to identify out the obstacles to their access to services, especially for those who are inactive. |

Evaluation and assessment of existing research, systems and programmes at local, regional, national and European levels related to young people in a NEET situation are needed in order to identify out the obstacles to their access to services, especially for those who are inactive.

| 10. | Youth policy, and especially youth work, can contribute to successful implementation of EU initiatives to combat youth unemployment and inactivity, such as the Youth Employment Package and, in particular, the Youth Guarantee. In order to achieve the best possible results, coherent and mutually reinforcing national measures and other political instruments are therefore needed. |

In order to achieve the best possible results, coherent and mutually reinforcing national measures and other political instruments are therefore needed.

| 11. | A holistic approach and cross-sectoral cooperation should be ensured in order to enhance the social inclusion of young people in a NEET situation. Social investment in people’s skills and capacities throughout their lifetime to improve their opportunities to integrate in the labour market and society is crucial (7). All policy instruments, measures and actions should be coordinated and implemented at local, regional, national and European levels and should include a wide range of stakeholders in the design and delivery of youth social inclusion measures. |

| 12. | Prevention should be a priority in order to avoid increasing the number of young people getting into a NEET situation and to break the inter-generational cycle of social exclusion. A proactive approach involving family, early child educators, schools, especially secondary and vocational education, training and non-formal learning providers, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), especially youth organisations, youth workers, parents and other stakeholders is needed to ensure early intervention to avoid young people getting into a NEET situation. |

| 13. | Policy measures have to address the diversity of young people in a NEET situation in terms of the stage when they have to intervene, their range of aims, objectives and activities.

(1)  In 2012, 7,5 million young people aged 15-24 and an additional 6,5 million young people aged 25-29 were not in employment, education or training in Europe. This corresponds to a significant increase in the rate of young people classified as NEET: in 2008, the figure stood at 11 % of 15-24 year olds and 17 % of 25-29 year olds; by 2012 this had increased to 13 % and 20 % respectively (Eurostat).
