"It is excellent that the Europe 2020 strategy should take account of young people. It does not, however, go far enough. The content is limited and pessimistic. There are not enough concrete objectives and more of them are needed. The figures for youth unemployment are alarming. It is more than double than what it is in other unemployment categories. Almost half of young people are unemployed in Latvia and Spain. The longer people remain unemployed, the greater the risk, not just of poverty, but of exclusion. Young people with just a little work experience are in a worse off position in the labour market, especially when it comes to staff cuts. Predictions suggest that there will be a shortage of workers. We cannot take it for granted, however, that the young people who are unemployed now will be able to meet this future need for workers. It is not necessarily such a straightforward procedure to integrate long-term unemployed young people back into society. We need concrete measures. The young need jobs, not promises. It is very important that we take responsibility for the future, and that children and young people remain at the core of all our plans."@en1
