Issues & challenges
• Youth unemployment is a structural problem• Even in good times rates were high
• Paradoxically: most educated youth generation ever
• Recession hit young workers hardest• men vs women; ethnic minorities; low educated
• Youngsters have little or non existant social security coverage – additional problem in engaging with PES
• Unemployment rate alone understates scale of the problem• low participation rate much more severe

Youth transitions: what do we know?
• First transition into labour market hardest yet most critical
• Recession increased transitions out of employment
• Reduced probability of moving out of unemployment and back into employment…resulting in:
• Evidence of youngsters returning to or remaining in education• LTU massively on the rise • Deskilling of youth will hamper economic recovery
