Integration of young people into society
Different methods for helping young people get integrated into society, such as employment or education, are presented here.
Coaching, using mentors, finding ways to prevent pupils leaving school early, and conditioning allowances to young people’s active job seeking or enrolment in some form of education or training are common methods for reducing young people’s exclusion from education, work and participation in society. This is shown in a study by the Swedish National Board for Youth Affairs.
Evaluations by the Swedish National Board for Youth Affairs show that up to 71 per cent of young people who were previously inactive have found a job, work experience or a place in further education via so-called navigator centres.
Flexible solutions in school, quicker support in the event of unemployment, cooperation between authorities, and parent training tailored to the needs of younger partici-pants. These are some of the proposals made by the Swedish National Board for Youth Affairs to support young parents.
It is important for young Roma people in Sweden to be able to speak up for themselves, and society needs to coordinate its efforts to support the group. This is shown in a study by the Swedish National Board for Youth Affairs.
In the course of five years, the European Social Fund (ESF) will financially support approximately a thousand projects to help young people go from unemployment to employment or to improve their skills. The main idea behind this project, Theme Group Youth, is to present clever techniques and ideas that have been put to good use in these projects and to pass them on.
