EuroHealthNet’s contribution to the Public Consultation on the Youth Employment Initiative
EuroHealthNet’s contribution focuses on the impact of youth unemployment and exclusion on health outcomes. It highlights the need to address significant societal and economic costs for EU governments through prioritizing long-term life-course investments, such as the EU Youth Employment Initiative. Health inequalities in youth erode the professional development of young generations and their ability to contribute to society, undermine economic growth and prosperity, and increase health, social care and wider public expenditures.
