Il Partito dei socialisti europei (PSE) oggi ha lanciato la campagna “Il tuo futuro è il mio futuro – una garanzia europea per i giovani subito!”, che mira a contrastare la disoccupazione giovanile in Europa. Al momento 5.6 milioni di giovani europei sono senza lavoro, più dell’intera popolazione della Danimarca. Questa inattività costa all’Europa 100 miliardi di euro l’anno. Una Garanzia europea per i giovani, come proposto dal PSE, potrebbe essere supportata da 10 miliardi di euro da fondi strutturali UE. Questi fondi potrebbero aiutare ad uscire dalla disoccupazione 2 milioni di giovani entro il 2014.

El eurodiputado toledano y miembro de la Ejecutiva Federal del PSOE Sergio Gutiérrez lucha también por los fondos estructurales para acabar con el paro juvenil, tal y como ha colgado en su cuenta de Twitter. Y lo hace en el Parlamento europeo junto a su compañero socialista Alejandro Cercas, tal y como pueden ver en la imagen.

The Finnish training guarantee means that each young person completing comprehensive school should have an opportunity for further education. 
This guarantee provides equal opportunities for everyone and is a key policy to prevent social exclusion among the youth.

The Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture has set a goal that no less than 96% of young people who complete basic education continue in a place of further education or receive supplemental education during the same year.

SDP on lähestynyt kuntavaikuttajiaan nuorten asialla. Puolue toivoo, että mahdollisimman monessa kunnassa SDP:n poliitikot ottaisivat esille nuorten yhteiskuntatakuuhankkeen.

Työministeri Ihalainen esitti vappuna, että paikallisesti otettaisiin nuorten koulutus- ja työllistämishaaste vastaan ja perustettaisiin laajalla pohjalla jokaiseen kuntaan oma nuorten yhteiskuntatakuuta edistävä työryhmä. Hänen mielestään mukaan olisi hyvä ottaa kaikki asiaan liittyvät tahot, kuten nuoret, koulut, paikalliset työnantajat, työvoimaviranomaiset, paikalliset työmarkkinajärjestöjen edustajat ja kolmannen sektorin toimijat.

Mei, maand van de arbeid. Een tijd om stil te staan bij sterk werk voor iedereen. En met sterk werk bedoelen we degelijke jobs, aan goede arbeidsvoorwaarden. Met de 1 mei-actie ‘Sterk in Werk’ wil Animo extra in de verf zetten hoe goed we het wel doen, maar vooral: hoe het nog veel beter kan.

The Party of European Socialists (PES) will use the traditional 1 May Labour Day to highlight the need for a European Wide “Youth Guarantee”. 5.6 million young people are unemployed in the European Union, with Spanish and Greek rates of youth unemployment over 50%. The PES proposal is to use EU structural funds to allow 2 million young people a chance to avoid the crisis of unemployment.

PES President Sergei Stanishev explains why a European Youth Guarantee needs to be implemented and how it could work in practical terms.

More efforts are needed to reduce unemployment in Europe. Social democratic and socialist ministers of employment and social affairs agreed in a meeting in Horsens/Denmark that creating more jobs and improving working conditions for Europe’s citizens must be a top priority in European politics, equally important to balancing national budgets. The ministers welcomed the Commission’s employment package as an important step forward, but called for concrete policies and the necessary financial support to follow up the good proposals presented by social democratic Commissioner Laszlo Andor. Decent minimum wages, regulations to improve the quality of work and support for the creation of new jobs should be supported by a mix of European and national policies.
