Addressing the concerns of young people in Europe: the Commission adopts a communication on youth policies

The European Commission adopted 30 May 2005 a Communication on “European policies concerning youth”. This text is a follow-up to the adoption of the European Youth Pact by the European Council in March 2005, which made young people a key part of the renewed Lisbon partnership for growth and jobs and which proposed taking action for young people in the fields of employment, integration and social advancement, education and training, mobility, and reconciling family and work life.
