"With youth unemployment running at thirty per cent in Ireland and at as high as fifty per cent in Greece and Spain, action at EU level is clearly to be welcomed. However, policies announced in the EU that are not backed by funding do not change and will not change anything in the near future for the many thousands of young people unemployed. Much remains unclear about the nature and enforceability of any guarantee too. In short, there is no ‘guarantee’ and action at home must be stepped up. Added support from the EU is always welcome but there is a need to ground this in the very real context of mass youth emigration and what is actually being proposed. In 2010, Sinn Fein supported a call by Parliament for 10 % of ESF funding to be channelled to this end. Such funding should significantly facilitate Member States’ efforts to implement such schemes, rather than the stand-alone nature proposed. Youth guarantee schemes already operate in and have proven their worth in some countries with the lowest levels of youth unemployment such as Austria and the Netherlands; however, their effectiveness in those hardest hit remains a challenge unmet."@en1
