What's YG
The European Youth Guarantee is a guarantee that ensures that every young person in Europe is offered a job, further education or work-focused training at the latest four months after leaving education or after becoming unemployed.
It can be implemented at European or at national level.
5.7 million young people are currently unemployed in Europe and an additional 1.5 million are forced into precarious jobs. In some countries as many as one young person out of two cannot find a job.
The campaign “Your future is my future – a European Youth Guarantee now” is calling for a European Youth Guarantee as a way to tackle youth unemployment and support young people called NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training).
EU countries endorsed the principle of the 2013 European Recommendation that proposed to young people between 15 to 29 years old, a work path, training, apprenticeship or internship qualitatively valid, within 4 months from the first informational interview and guidance.
It was introduced a profiling system with the aim to identify and customize the training / work proposed to the young man on the basis of his previous skills, propensities and knowledge required by the labour market.
Variables such territorial, demographic, family and individual contribute to the definition of the profile.
