The Future of Youth in Europe and Israel: Social Exclusion and the Quality of Democracy
by: Dr. Roby Nathanson date: 01.11.2014At the beginning of the 21st century, the young generation in Israel and Europe faces new and substantial challenges. The way of coping with those challenges will have critical consequences.
The Young population is the driving force that contributes to the growth of the Israeli economy in various aspects: economic, educational, social, academic and public. The State of Israel is characterized by a high proportion of young people in relation to the European countries.
A vast share of the younger population in Israel feels that the state has failed in ensuring their future; despite having paid their dues, fulfilled their civic duties and having chosen the desired professional and academic path – their financial horizon is obscure. Young people in Europe also undergo significant challenges, more about that later, and it was therefore decided to hold a seminar of the IEPN in Warsaw on "The Future of Youth in Europe and Israel", in order to identify these challenges and propose policy measures to help young people get through them.
