"With this project, the ETUC aimed to contribute to the improvement of the situation of young Europeans in the labour market by focusing on:
Tackling inequalities which affect young European workers in the labour market and during the transition between the educational system and the labour market. Special attention should be given to the situation of traineeships and therefore how the EU political tools such as the Quality framework for traineeships is further implemented by the ETUC members.
The situation in the labour market of two categories of workers which are overrepresented in precarious forms of employment, unemployment and sectoral level have proven to be an effective tool for improving the working conditions of young workers, women and migrants in the labour market and. Provisions on youth employment and transitions included in the collective agreements throughout EU industrial systems were tracked and best practices identified.
Considering how broader social dialogue activities can respond to the challenges faced by young workers. Bipartite or tripartite negotiations between social partners and (when applicable) Governments to establish policies and legislation to ease the integration in the labour market for the target groups were tracked throughout the EU. Best practices have been selected based on the impact assessment of said initiatives and common denominators were identified.
Outreach to the most vulnerable youth (including building up alliances with civil society organisations). "
