ILO has intensified activities on the Youth Guarantee in the Western Balkans

FENA Press release

SARAJEVO/BUDAPEST, October 18 (FENA) - Following the example of similar schemes in EU member states, the Youth Guarantee is determined to support every person under the age of 30 who is not employed, in schooling or training (so-called NEETs).

This commitment gives young people a quality chance of employment, internships, part-time learning or continuing training for four months after completing their education or losing their job.

The European Commission (EC) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) have joined forces to support the institutions responsible for youth employment policy in the Western Balkans in introducing a youth guarantee (YG). The European Training Foundation (ETF) is also a partner in the realization of interventions. Inspired by similar schemes in the EU Member States, a youth guarantee is a commitment to support every young person under the age of 30 who is not employed, in education or training (so-called NEETs). This commitment entitles young people to receive a good quality offer of employment, traineeship, apprenticeship, or continued education within four months of leaving school or becoming unemployed.

The EC/ILO support includes the adaptation of the youth guarantee to the Western Balkans through policy, programming and monitoring support, advanced training, and peer-learning across Western Balkans and EU.

This EC/ILO Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) comes after the second EU-Western Balkans Ministerial Meeting on Employment and Social Affairs on 8 July, at which ministers and representatives responsible for employment endorsed a Declaration on ensuring sustainable labor market integration of young people. The Declaration recognizes the disproportionately negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the labor market situation of young people and spells out a commitment to gradually implement youth guarantees in the region. The Declaration takes inspiration from the EU Council Recommendation of 30 October 2020 on A Bridge to Jobs – Reinforcing the Youth Guarantee.
