Too many young people leave school prematurely, running the risk of being unemployed and socially excluded. Fighting rising levels of unemployment – particularly among young people – has become one of the most urgent tasks of the European Union. EU businesses need to become more competitive by harnessing young talent. Well-performing education and training systems and youth policies can help to tackle these challenges by providing people with the skills required by the labour market and the economy, while allowing them to play an active role in society and to achieve personal fulfilment.
