The “Youth Employment Free Zone”
• Policies should aim at early intervention and
prevention
• Evidence based: good data &knowledge of “stock
and flows” of young people, from primary school
onwards
• Monitoring their careers and the “turns” they take
• Involving all stakeholders
• Building more productive roads towards employment
– avoiding and blocking wrong turn

• An ounce of prevention …starting at young age
• Regional – triple helix – coordination, responsive to smart specialisation
• Baking a bigger cake …
