As mentioned in the current national youth strategy, approved on 17th October 2024 (Cf. 1.3), the access of young people to the labour market is among the priorities of action supported by the yearly Fund for Youth Policies. Particular attention is given to NEETs and young people with fewer opportunities.

In March 2024, the National Agency for Active Labour Policies (Agenzia Nazionale per le Politiche Attive del Lavoro, ANPAL) was abolished by Decree 230/2023, and its functions have been transferred to the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies.
