Mobility Scoreboard: Higher education background report – 2022/2023
Eurydice – European Education and Culture Executive Agency, 2023
Experiencing transnational mobility during education and training is a major boost in the life of many young people. Despite the added value that learner mobility brings and the increasing opportunities available, the path towards the free movement of students, researchers and trainees is still hampered by a number of obstacles. The purpose of the Mobility Scoreboard is to monitor progress made by European countries in promoting, and removing obstacles to, learning mobility. The report provides updated information on six scoreboard indicators in the areas of information and guidance, foreign language preparation, portability of grants and loans, support for disadvantaged learners, recognition of learning outcomes through the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) and recognition of qualifications.

Best practice interventions in Formal and Non-formal Education of Youth NEETs in Rural Areas Across Europe
COST Action CA 18213: Rural NEET Youth Network: Modeling the risks underlying rural NEETs social exclusion, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology), 2022.
The COST Action Rural NEET Youth Network (RNYN) brings together multiple stakeholders, from researchers to policymakers and non-governmental organizations with the intention of informing research policies and programs that can ultimately promote rural NEETs’ social inclusion. As part of that vision, RNYN is now delivering a series of four reports which collate promising practices, programs, and case studies. Our reports cover four topics traversing RNYN’s thematic working groups: social inclusion; formal and non-formal education; employment and employment services; and, rural development. Altogether, we hope that these multiple angles of analysis will inspire further research or collaboration between institutions and people interested in moving forward rural NEETs, but also rural youth in general.

Global Employment Trends for Youth 2022: Investing in transforming futures for young people.
International Labour Organization 2022
The 2022 edition discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on young people and their labour market prospects during the recovery and beyond. Youth have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic and youth labour markets are now being buffeted by the lingering impacts of the pandemic, geopolitical risks and macroeconomic risks such as the impact of supply chain disruptions and rising inflation, particularly that of food and energy. There is also the potential permanent damage wreaked by these crises on the fabric of labour markets. As countries seek to address these multiple challenges, they must also not lose sight of longer-term priorities. In particular, targeted investment in the green, blue (ocean), digital, creative and care economies hold great potential to provide decent jobs for young people while setting economies on path towards greater sustainability, inclusiveness and resilience.

This ILO global report on working time focuses on the actual number of hours of work, working-time arrangements, and their implications for work–life balance. It includes a range of statistics never before produced concerning the number of hours of work, both the situation as it existed immediately before the COVID-19 pandemic and also how it evolved during the pandemic. It then turns to the other half of the working-time equation, working time arrangements and reviews the most prominent types of working time arrangements that currently exist and their effects on workers’ work–life balance. Next, an in-depth analysis of the matches and mismatches between workers’ actual hours of work and their preferred hours of work, as well as the effects of such matches and mismatches on work–life balance is provided. The report also reviews and analyses the working time-related crisis response measures deployed by governments and enterprises to keep organizations functioning and workers employed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, the report summarizes the main conclusions of all the previous chapters and considers their implications for both public policies and enterprise policies regarding working time and work–life balance.

Study on youth work in the EU: final report
Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture
Luxembourg. Publications Office of the European Union, 2021
This study constitutes the second European-wide comparison on youth work published by the European Commission. The first European Commission study on youth work, published in 2014, was an exploratory investigation of youth work at European level, seeking to identify commonalities and to map the state of youth work policies across the EU. This second report goes further and focuses on the needs of youth workers at the grassroots level to critically analyse whether existing public policies fulfil these needs. This is a timely report: the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the youth work sector. It has forced youth workers to rethink how they provide their services, and placed many in a precarious position, particularly at the local level and for youth workers who support the most vulnerable young people.

Impact of COVID-19 on young people in the EU
Ezter Sándor e outros
Luxembourg. Publications Office of the European Union, 2021
Following a long recovery from the economic crisis (2007–2013), young people in the EU proved to be more vulnerable to the effects of the restrictions put in place to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Young people were more likely than older groups to experience job loss, financial insecurity and mental health problems. They reported reduced life satisfaction and mental well-being associated with the stay-at-home requirements and school closures. While governments responded quickly to the pandemic, most efforts to mitigate the effects of restrictions were temporary measures aimed at preventing job loss and keeping young people in education. This report explores the effects of the pandemic on young people, particularly in terms of their employment, well-being and trust in institutions, and assesses the various policy measures introduced to alleviate these effects.

Inequalities in the access of young people to information and support services
Eurofound
Data de publicação: Julho de 2019
“In recent years, concerns have been expressed at EU and national level that the combined stresses arising from school, parental expectations and societal pressures can make the transition to adulthood difficult for young people – with the risk of a long-lasting negative impact. One way of easing the transition is to provide appropriate information and support services during these critical life-changing years. However, it appears that not all young people have access to such services. This report describes the characteristics of the young people who face most difficulties in accessing social and health services, the types of services most relevant to them and the main challenges they face in accessing information and support services. It also looks at what service providers can do to ensure they reach young people in need of their support and presents innovative examples of how to tackle inequalities in access to services.” (Eurydice, 2019)

Exploring the diversity of NEETs
Data de publicção: Julho de 2016
The concept of NEET (young people not in employment, education or training) has, since 2010, been widely used as a tool to inform youth-oriented policies in the 28 Member States of the European Union. While it has been a valuable addition to more traditional indicators used to understand the economic and social vulnerability of young people and their labour market participation, it has often been criticised because of the heterogeneity of the population it captures. This report explores the diversity of NEETs and suggests seven subgroups into which the NEET population can be disaggregated using data routinely collected for the EU Labour Force Survey.
Jovens no mercado de trabalho : módulo ad hoc de 2016 do Inquérito ao Emprego
«Com a temática Jovens no mercado de trabalho visa-se dispor de informação comparável, ao nível europeu, sobre a situação dos jovens no mercado de trabalho, com vista a monitorizar os objetivos definidos na Estratégia Europa 2020 e na iniciativa Juventude em Movimento.
Este tema ganha ainda mais relevância por se tratar de uma geração com níveis médios de qualificação mais elevados do que as gerações precedentes, a que se associa, no entanto, uma elevada taxa de desemprego, refletindo uma maior dificuldade de entrada no mercado de trabalho.
Este módulo integra o programa de módulos ad hoc para o triénio 2016-2018, definido no Regulamento Delegado da Comissão (UE) N.º 1397/2014, de 22 de outubro, e segue as recomendações metodológicas e técnicas definidas no questionário modelo do Eurostat.»
Being young in Europe today
Social inclusion of young people
Data de publicação: Setembro de 2015
Since the onset of the economic crisis, the unemployment level among young people has risen sharply and although an improvement is now being registered some EU countries still have stubbornly high youth unemployment rates. Young people, especially those who are not in employment, education or training (NEET), are now the group at highest risk of social exclusion, with severe consequences not only for the individuals concerned but for the economy and society as a whole.
