The focus is on the network, close cross-sectorial cooperation between different state institutions and agencies. There is very narrow border when youth worker and when police has already to intervene, and this is also influenced by general opinion and media.

1st . It will be a clear need to identify a strategy for economic growth and
development that will enable the economy to find areas of investment leading to a
renewal of the national productive apparatus.
2nd . It is necessary to redefine an array of cooperation between civil society -
the state - and financial/private agents, demanding for social responsibility in
crisis time, to reform financing mechanisms, requiring a system restore confidence
and credibility finance and business, as citizens did when it was necessary to use
public funds on bank recapitalization.
3rd . The youth employment is only one dimension, often instrumental in the lives
of young people. The real need for this, relates to the possibility of developing a
sustainable living project, with future prospects. For this it is necessary to identify
mechanisms of social sharing of risk, based on concepts of social
innovation to rethink social security devices, illness protection, promotion of
family, individual achievement and the pursuit of happiness for every young
person.

6th. Restructuring the network of higher education, bringing it closer to the

7th. Debate a new model of employment contracts for young
people, replacing the current reality of precariousness , with drastic reduction of
social contributions made.

The priorities of young people have changed dramatically in this time of global crisis that
threw the world economy into the recession.
The youth is suffer most from all this, are who see their social rights being stomped on, and
his future mortgaged, rejected their aspirations and see their jobs destroyed.
The priorities of life of young people are the future, and how to build a new one according to
their dreams in a continuous improvement of their living conditions.
For all of this, is fundamental redefine the priorities of youth.
These priorities are the living conditions of young people and these tend to be discussed
between the governments and the social partners.
Social partners, however, represent only those who are part of a formal economy, already
existing and safeguard the rights acquired and no rights of the consecration of the new
generations.
Young people should participate in dialogues as well complain of
social partners, governments, unions and employers in a collective
response to the maintenance of social cohesion and progress and
economic and social development.
