  1. Expert’s Workshop Extending In GRID integrated datasets and tools on vulnerable groups with employment conditions data Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences Session III: Youths How to Bridge Gaps in Datasets Leading to Better Future of Youth Blagica Novkovska Athens, 28-29.03.2019 година

  2. Measurement of economic and social environment for youth According to UNESCO “Youth” is best understood as a period of transition from the dependence of childhood to adulthood’s independence and awareness of our interdependence as members of a community. The UN, for statistical consistency across regions, defines ‘youth’, as those persons between the ages of 15 and 24 years, without prejudice to other definitions by Member States. All UN statistics on youth are based on this definition, as illustrated by the annual yearbooks of statistics published by the United Nations system on demography, education, employment and health.

  4. NEET and Unemployment NEET= Young people not in employment and not in any education and training Of particular concern are young people who are neither in employment nor in education or training – known by the acronym NEET in many countries. • Little progress has been made in reducing youth unemployment or increasing youth employment • Economic and social costs of unemployment, long-term unemployment, discouragement and widespread low-quality jobs for young people continue to rise and undermine economies’ growth potential • Current youth generation is increasingly employed in non-standard jobs

  5. Recommendatons • Understanding socio-economic position of young people has to be given high priority in designing of surveys, • The socio-economic choices of the youth have to be observed more clearly and in more details. • Create labour market policies to target employment of disadvantaged youth; • Secure labour rights that are based on international labour standards to ensure that young people receive equal treatment. • Creation of above listed policies requires further disaggregation of labour market and other social statistics in order to obtain enough precise picture of the vulnerability of youth. • Periodicity of production and dissemination of data, as well as their disaggregation by age groups, are to be harmonized across different sets of available data. • More data contained in datasets are to be further processed and made publicly available. • Data sources be developed, consistent for measurement, monitoring and evaluation of youth socio-economic position.
