Additional information:
Youth are a target group within Slovenia’s National Employment Policy, particularly through the strategic framework outlined in the Guidelines for the Implementation of Active Employment Policy Measures for the Period 2021–2025 (AEP Guidelines 2021–2025). The Guidelines define four priority goals, with Goal 3 specifically focused on young people: Implementation of the Youth Guarantee – Faster Transition of Young Unemployed into the Labour Market. This objective aims to support a quicker and more sustainable integration of young people into employment. The effectiveness of this goal is monitored through the following indicators: • NEET rate (young people not in employment, education, or training), • Share of long-term unemployed among youth, and • Average duration of youth unemployment.
