Jeunesse

La jeunesse est le terme utilisé pour décrire la période entre l’enfance et l’âge adulte. Bien qu’il puisse s’agir d’une définition floue, elle est également utilisée en termes de politique pour désigner des groupes d’âge spécifiques. Offrir aux jeunes un environnement propice à la croissance, à l’apprentissage et au travail est un objectif clé pour l’Europe et pour Eurofound, mais qui se heurte à des défis particuliers. Les jeunes sont depuis longtemps au cœur de la politique européenne, et c’est particulièrement vrai aujourd’hui.

Travailler pour les enfants est important : un aperçu de la prestation de services et de la main-d’œuvre en Europe
+2
Daniel Molinuevoand 5 other authors

La promotion du bien-être des enfants et la lutte contre la pauvreté des enfants sont des objectifs clés de la nouvelle Commission européenne. Ce rapport analyse les tendances et les disparités en matière d’accessibilité des services pour les enfants qui doivent être abordées pour y parvenir. De plus, étant donné que le personnel joue un rôle essentiel dans la détermination de la qualité et de l’accessibilité de ces services, ce rapport décrit l’état des lieux des conditions de travail du personnel et des possibilités de formation. De bonnes conditions de travail et des services abordables de haute qualité, tels que l’éducation et l’accueil de la petite enfance, jouent également un rôle clé dans l’encouragement de la participation au marché du travail et l’augmentation de la productivité.

Cían Duffand 2 other authors

This report analyses data from Eurofound’s 2021 European Working Conditions Telephone Survey and its 2022 Living, working and COVID-19 e-survey, as well as data from official statistics, to examine employment trends, working conditions and the social situation of young people in the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia). Employment trends are also presented for Türkiye. This report is part of Eurofound’s ongoing effort to support informed policymaking in EU accession countries through the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA). It is the first output from a project financed by the Directorate-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations (DG NEAR) under the auspices of the IPA. Its aim is to provide knowledge that will support better-informed social, employment and work-related policies in the Western Balkans and Türkiye. It offers a comparative perspective between the countries and with the EU based on sound statistical analysis and expert consultation.

Foundational challenges: the housing struggles of Europe’s youth
Sanna Nivakoski,
Marie Hyland

Europe is faced with a housing crisis that affects people of all ages, however younger people are disproportionately impacted. Many young adults are unable to afford their own home, often having to remain living in their parental home. This crisis has wide-reaching consequences, influencing opportunities for education and employment, household composition and formation, and both current and future well-being.

This report examines the housing situation across the EU, with a specific focus on young people. It addresses the following key questions: What are the main housing challenges facing the EU population, and how have they evolved over time? What gaps exist between current housing conditions and individuals’ desired living situations, especially among younger people? Finally, what policy measures could help alleviate the housing crisis, especially from a youth-centered perspective?

Becoming adults: Young people in a post-pandemic world

During the pandemic, many young people had to change their plans for the future. While at the end of 2023 young people’s labour market situation was more favourable than it had been in recent years, many obstacles remained on their route to independence, such as the rising cost of living and inability to move out of the parental home. This report explores young people’s wishes and plans for the future – and the well-being outcomes related to these plans – in the context of the current labour market and housing situation and progress on the implementation of the EU’s reinforced Youth Guarantee.

Fifth round of the Living, working and COVID-19 e-survey: Living in a new era of uncertainty

The fifth round of Eurofound's e-survey, fielded from 25 March to 2 May 2022, sheds light on the social and economic situation of people across Europe two years after COVID-19 was first detected on the European continent. It also explores the reality of living in a new era of uncertainty caused by the war in Ukraine, inflation, and rising energy prices.

The findings of the e-survey reveal the heavy toll of the pandemic, with respondents reporting lower trust in institutions than at the start of the pandemic, poorer mental well-being, a rise in the level of unmet healthcare needs and an increase in the number of households experiencing energy poverty.

The impact of COVID-19 on young people in the EU

New day, new data highlighting the devastating impact of COVID-19 on young people across the European Union – most recently Eurofound’s unique pan-European Living, working and COVID-19 e-survey. We know this has taken an unprecedented toll on young people particularly – their mental well-being, their independence and more broadly, inter-generational solidarity as a whole. This podcast drills down to what it means to be a young person in Europe today, their lives, work, opportunities and challenges in the European Year of Youth.

Youth in a time of COVID

The exponential growth of COVID-19 cases across Europe this autumn has quickly erased hopes that the virus had been contained and confirmed the surge of another wave of the pandemic. With Member States now implementing new restrictive measures for the second time since March in an attempt to control the virus, the COVID-19 crisis has become a health, economic and social crisis.

Inequalities in the access of young people to information and support services

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.
