CONCEPT
Youth unemployment has been a problem in Europe for a long time, but it took a particularly bad
development with the economic crisis following the credit crunch of 2008.
Even though economic observers claim economic recovery for large parts of Europe, the
unemployment rates of young people are still double as high as those of the general population.
In this context, civil society organisations play a crucial role to support the integration of young
people into the labour market by using various educational and informational support measures.
The PBA is part of a 22-months project “YEES – Building local capacities for Youth
Employability and Entrepreneurial Skills” which aims to build sustainable capacities for youth
employability and entrepreneurial skill development in BiH and MNE for local youth
stakeholders by pursuing the following
