Last update: 26 February 2024

Existence of a National Youth Strategy

No national Youth Strategy exists at the moment.

For the period 2019-2024, the government has pointed out its priorities in the field of youth in the Community's political declaration. This plan gives the guidelines for various sectors affecting young people : education, youth work policy, youth welfare policy, sport and culture. 

The government is agreed on the need to step up measures aimed at younger generations through a "0-25 Child and Youth Plan". It aims at strengthen investments in children and youth affected by the pandemic. See 1.9 Current debates and reforms.
