Almost a quarter of 15 to 24-year-olds in the eurozone are currently unemployed or no longer in school. In countries like Greece or Spain, that rate exceeds 50 percent. So is Europe’s youth a lost generation?

 

FRANCE 24's Markus Karlsson discusses the issue with:

  • Sharan Burrow, General Secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC);
  • László Andor, EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion;
  • Rajeeb Dey, Founder and CEO of Enternships.com;
  • Maurice Lévy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Publicis Groupe and World Economic Forum Foundation Board member;
  • Jonathan Teklu, Co-founder and Managing Partner of Springstar.
