CROSS-SECTORAL APPROACH

IN WORKING WITH YOUTH

In EU Youth Strategy it is stated that young people are one of the most vulnerable groups in the context of world economic crisis, so therefore work should be directed

towards achieving the following goals:

Create more opportunities for youth in education

and employment

Improve access and

full participation of youth in

society

Strengthen solidarity between

youth and the society as

a whole

of young people

on the world level

is unemployed

Despite economic crisis, over

2 million jobs on EU level

remained vacant

In Serbia, 10% of young people do

not complete elementary school,

15% of young people do not

complete secondary school, which

means that almost one third of

young people belongs to the labour

force without occupation and

qualification

On the EU level 12.8%

of young people (14

million) is not involved

neither in education,

nor in employment, or

training programmes

Serbia is 40.4%; young

while in the EU
