"The report, which I voted in favour of, contains interesting reflections and suggestions for developing constructive policies that aim to give young people in today’s society a sense of responsibility.
Young people face many challenges today if they are to make their way in the job market and in society. I agree with the basic premise of the report: Parliament could be a useful instrument for implementing European youth strategies, in view of its democratic roots and its resulting ability to gather the requests of young people on the ground and within Member States, and to bring their demands to the attention of Europe.
I reiterate, as have other previous speeches, the importance of ensuring training pathways reflect local business patterns: only by doing this can we help the young people of today and tomorrow to enter the job market more easily and with greater satisfaction. Nowadays, jobs are still the main problem for millions of young people in Europe, especially during the current economic crisis, which has raised the youth unemployment rate to more than 20%.
I also agree fully with the report’s emphasis on the social and human importance of young people taking part in voluntary work as a factor in helping them achieve personal and collective growth."@en1
