3.11 Current debates and reforms

Last update: 28 November 2023

Debates related to employment and youth entrepreneurship in Spain are mainly based on the unemployment issue. As we have seen throughout this chapter, different plans, strategies and reforms have recently been approved that are aimed at improving the situation of young people in these areas. Currently, the main debates revolve around whether these measures will be effective in improving the situation.

Some questions asked in the Congress of Deputies by political parties are along these lines. For example, in 2021 the People's Group (People's Party) asked a question on the degree of implementation of the Erasmus + Youth in Action Programme, the European Solidarity Corps Traineeships or employment and the International Work Camps Campaign in 2020.

Another of the questions asked by the same political group was about the actions for the promotion of the entrepreneurial culture carried out by the Spanish Youth Institute in 2020, as well as actions for the promotion and support of entrepreneurship planned for 2021.
