Executive Summary Youth Strategy 2022-2030

The new Youth Strategy 2030 “Building Blocks for a New Social Contract with Youth” (hereafter EJ2030) comes from a process of reflection on what country and society we want to have by the end of the decade, and how we can build a more egalitarian, sustainable and socially just present and future for youth, society and the environment in general. This is why we are proposing, with our sights set on 2030, an ambitious agenda in terms of both goals and methodology. This agenda is intended to be the common framework upon which to build the new social contract necessary to ensure that our young people are able to build independent lives and are not left behind.

This strategy is structured around ten specific axes and two cross-cutting axes:

1. Inclusive, equitable, quality education and training and lifelong learning.
2. Autonomy, decent employment and youth entrepreneurship.
3. Leaving home, housing, birth rate and life plan.
4. Comprehensive health and quality of life.
5. Young people and adolescents at serious risk of social exclusion or subject to double discrimination. Care economy and inclusion policies.
6. Youth and global transformation: participation and volunteering.
7. Youth Mobility: Emigration and Return.
8. Youth and the rural world.
9. Knowledge management on youth reality and youth services.
10. Young governance and institutional cooperation.
11. Young women and equality.
12. Youth, environment and sustainability.
