Policy on Young People and Social Exclusion

This paper makes the case for a new settlement of workers rights that no longer privileges certain segments of the labour market, but provides the same safety net and benefits for all, from day one on the job.

Precarious work is not inevitable; rather, it is a result of political decisions and can therefore be mitigated and ultimately eliminated. This paper outlines actionable steps at both the national and EU level to address the issue, paving the way for a better relationship between mental health and the world of work for young people.

The European Youth Forum welcomes the commitment of the Commission to propose a Council Recommendation on minimum income for adoption in 2022, to further implement Principle 14 of the European Pillar of Social Rights.
