In addition to unemployment, the organizers placed particular focus to the inactivity of youth in the labor market and an exceptionally small number of those who additionally improve and develop their skills (according to the UN research, only 25% have experience in non-formal education, 10% of them are volunteering and 7% of youth are members of a youth organization).
