Unemployment in Europe - What do you think?

During the project “Inclusion TV” the Reporting Team got the chance to interview social and youth workers. Now I will give you the chance to read some information they told our Reporting Team.

Nina S. from Germany

What do you think about projects like this?
 

“I think the young people can exchange their experiences together. 

Young people, social workers and youth workers can learn something.”

“Working together is a step in the right direction because we can think 

about what we can do together, to fight against the unemployment of the youth.”

Alonso E. and Carmen C. M. from Spain

What do you think about youth unemployment in Spain and in Europe?

“Unemployment is a difficult problem and we have to find a solution. Most of the young people leave Spain and Europe to work in the USA. That’s why we have to give them the opportunity to start their own business in areas in Europe. Otherwise Europe will lose this generation. And because of this, countries have to work together. And also the youth shouldn’t be alone and work alone. We have to help them. We have to think for the future and in the present.”

Ramon M. from Spain (works in Germany)

How does youth unemployment in Spain differ from that in Germany?

“It’s a lot harder to find a job in Spain than in Germany.  In Germany, the young people have opportunities but they don’t use them but in Spain, they have no opportunities even though they want to do something. The youth in countries like Germany or Austria have to understand that when they have a good opportunity, they have to take it.”

Berni K. and Michael S. from Austria

What do you think about Inclusion TV and what are the reasons are for youth unemployment?

“We haven’t heard much about Inclusion TV but we are looking forward to this week. We want to see how the team works with the youth and we are interested to see what the young people do during this week and what they accomplish.”

“We believe that most of the young people don’t know what they want to do. They don’t even know about some fields of work. These fields should be made more obvious for young people. If the politicians do not work on youth unemployment, than there will be more and more unemployed young people.
