Nat O'Connor: The Friedrich Ebert Stiftung have just published a useful paper on youth employment in Europe (available here). Unfortunately, the conclusion seems to be that despite a lot of data and analysis, we are not close to any easy solutions that will be easy to implement. Nonetheless, successfully tackling youth employment is vital to European and Irish future prosperity.
