Employment and social affairs
 Employment and social conditions are issues of great concern to young people from all over Europe. With high levels of youth unemployment persisting in many countries, it can be very hard for young people to find a firm footing in the labour market in a job that is of interest to them. Moreover, young people are more likely to work in unstable and temporary positions, with low wages and poorer working conditions than the rest of the adult population. Young people are also at high risk of social exclusion and poverty, particularly during the transition from education to employment. The European Youth Forum works towards improving the social situation of young people in Europe, focusing on promoting the employment and social inclusion of young people and an adequate level of social protection.
