Youth labour mobility in the EU
10.1.2014
Question for written answer E-000220-14
to the Commission
Rule 117
Minodora Cliveti (S&D)
Workforce mobility is a fundamental right of European citizens, and that includes young jobseekers, while their finding a career contributes not only to their own development, but also to the development of the EU.
Several mobility trends are apparent at EU level, especially as regards young Europeans (many young people from Eastern and Central Europe are heading for countries in Western Europe, while young people from Western Europe, especially from Ireland, are leaving the European continent to look for a job).
Since one of the priorities of the EU is to create a single European market, can the Commission state:
- 1.whether it considers the workforce, and especially the young workforce, to be a fundamental European strength and a pillar of EU development;
- 2.whether it does not consider it necessary to develop a European strategy for properly managing the workforce, and especially the young workforce, in order to ensure its optimum use and that it is not wasted?
