Labour ministers up the fight to prevent a lost generation: How do you fight youth unemployment? That was the theme when Nordic labour ministers met in Reykjavik in November. One in five European youths is unemployed. There is fear of a lost generation. The Nordic countries focus on education and help on an individual level to help young people into working life.
The need for a comprehensive youth policy: Labour ministers want an overview of all measures targeted at youth across all policy areas in the Nordic countries.

"We will stand up as a people and demand what is rightfully ours. We will take responsibility for ourselves and for our families. And as politicians we will take responsibility for our country."
