Key points
- The Youth Guarantee aims to provide quality employment, education, or training opportunities within four months of a young person leaving school or becoming unemployed.
- There is a significant gap between different EU Member States, with some meeting targets and others facing very high numbers of unemployed youth.
- A major challenge is that many participants remain stuck in the preparatory phase for too long without transitioning to actual jobs or training.
- Vulnerable groups, including Roma communities and young people in rural or remote areas, face much higher barriers to accessing these services.
