Amendment 18 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Notes that the youth unemployment rate in the EU has decreased in the past few years; regrets, however, that in many instances, in countries such as Ireland1, Greece and Portugal particularly, too much of this decrease is because so many young people have been forced to seek employment outside the EU, a loss that will be sorely felt in future decades; regrets further that in mid-2016, 18.8 % of young people in the EU were still unemployed; urges the Member States to utilise available EU support in order to tackle this longstanding issue; 1 https://www.ft.com/content/552b8340- 52b5-11e4-9221-00144feab7de?mhq5j=e1
Amendment 24 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Is strongly concerned that NEETs are disconnected from the education system and the labour market, in many cases through no fault of their own; understands that this demographic is the hardest to reach through existing operational programmes that implement youth unemployment funding schemes, too many of which do not offer proper sustainable remuneration or proper working conditions; considers that, for the 2017-2020 period, the focus should be on this demographic so as to ensure that the main YG objectives are achieved;
