Óige
Is é an óige an téarma a úsáidtear chun cur síos a dhéanamh ar an tréimhse idir óige agus aosacht. Cé go bhféadfadh sé seo a bheith ina shainmhíniú sreabhach, úsáidtear é freisin i dtéarmaí beartais chun tagairt a dhéanamh d'aoisghrúpaí ar leith. Is príomhsprioc don Eoraip agus d'Eurofound é timpeallacht mhaith a chur ar fáil do dhaoine óga chun fás aníos, foghlaim agus obair – ach tá dúshláin ar leith roimh dhúshláin ar leith. Tá daoine óga ina fhócas tábhachtach sa bheartas ar leibhéal an AE le fada an lá agus tá sé sin fíor go háirithe sa lá atá inniu ann.

Is príomhspriocanna an Choimisiúin Eorpaigh nua iad folláine leanaí a chur chun cinn agus dul i ngleic le bochtaineacht leanaí. Déanann an tuarascáil seo anailís ar threochtaí agus ar éagothromaíochtaí maidir le hinrochtaineacht seirbhísí do leanaí a gcaithfear aghaidh a thabhairt orthu chun é sin a bhaint amach. Ina theannta sin, ós rud é go bhfuil ról lárnach ag an bhfoireann maidir le cáilíocht agus inrochtaineacht na seirbhísí seo a chinneadh, déanann an tuarascáil seo cur síos ar staid na himeartha maidir le coinníollacha oibre foirne agus deiseanna oiliúna. Tá ról lárnach ag dea-dhálaí oibre agus ag seirbhísí ardchaighdeáin inacmhainne, amhail oideachas agus cúram luath-óige, maidir le rannpháirtíocht sa mhargadh saothair a spreagadh agus táirgiúlacht a mhéadú.

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.

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.

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.
