YOUTH EMPLOYMENT INITIATIVE (2014-2020)

Some 5.5 million young people on the labour market (more than 1 in 5) cannot find a job, and 7.5 million young people aged 15-24 are NEETs (Not in employment, education or training). The economic cost of not integrating young people into labour market has been estimated by Eurofound at over €150 billion per year, or 1.2% of EU GDP. Some countries, such as Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia and Poland, are paying 2% or more of their GDP.

The Youth Employment Initiative was proposed by the latest European Council with a budget of €6 billion for the period 2014-20.

The Youth Employment Initiative would particularly support young people not in education, employment or training (NEETs) in the Union's regions with a youth unemployment rate in 2012 at above 25%. It would focus on integrating NEETs into the labour market. E
