In the framework of a series of events between 5-8 December 2023, marking the conclusion of the Cowork4YOUTH project, the conference will open the discussion between the project\u2019s researchers, policy-makers and the public on the outputs of our research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Successive crises, including the 2008 financial one, the subsequent decade-long recession, and the COVID-19 pandemic, have shaped a new environment in employment. On the one hand, existing issues took on a new urgency. For example regions of the South of Europe with a predominantly tourism-dependent economy have presented different levels of resilience and vulnerability to different crises. Yet, the effect of structural issues of their economies, such as seasonality or low-skilled workforce, has been exacerbated during these turbulent periods. On the other hand, regions in transition, and more importantly regions undergoing a decarbonisation process, have always been scoring low in the employment rates. It is in those cases that the employment of youth has been severely affected by the changing economic environment of the successive crises since 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cowork4YOUTH, an analysis and research project, has assessed the transformation potential of alternative economic sectors on youth employment, having first shed light on the complex impact of the crises. The project adopts a transnational\/ regional perspective by focusing on a binary of non-metropolitan regions across all study countries, especially Greece, Italy, Spain, and Ireland: tourism-dependent, island or remote coastal regions, on the one hand, and regions facing energy transition, decarbonisation or intense industrial decline on the other. In that framework, it has produced policy recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference will seek to address these issues, map the structural and socio-spatial parameters of youth unemployment and explore the opportunities for change through policy recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
