Youth employment

There is some optimism in the EU when it comes to the 2014 economics forecast. The macro indicators seem to be encouraging, including for countries such as Spain and Portugal. But the key issue continues to be about job creation. And, frankly, there is again very little debate about this matter. The very few references made here and there are about the high costs of labour. But that´s the wrong approach to the question. The point is a different one: how well are we preparing our youth for tomorrow´s economic challenges?  It is time to initiate the discussion on this.
