On the 2nd place in the list of countries with unemployed young people is Italy (19%), and on the 3rd place is Greece (15.4%).
At the opposite pole, most young people in the Netherlands and Sweden are either working or in some form of education.
If we look at how things have evolved in this regard in the period 2012-2022, we see that in many states there has been a considerable reduction in the proportion of young people who are neither working nor studying. The greatest progress has been made by countries such as Ireland, where we see a reduction of around 13%, Greece with a minus of over 11%, but also Bulgaria, where the number of young people without an occupation has decreased in 10 years by almost 10%.
There are, however, two European states where the proportion increased in 2012-2022. Austria, where we see an increase of 0.9% and Romania with an increase of 0.5 percent.
Daniel David, rector of Babeș Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, told Digi24 that in Romania “there is still a myth that is perpetuated even by politicians, that we have too many students and that we must guide young people towards professional routes”.
“This is a major problem, because if we compare the number of higher education graduates to the total population in Romania, it is very bad,” said Daniel David.
“In a modern, technological world, this becomes a risk. After college there should be a level of culturalization, growth in education that helps young people to be more tolerant, more oriented in the world, to be able to choose a career This myth must be debunked.
Then, there is another interesting phenomenon, Romania is in a phase of emancipation, when you are no longer willing to do things you used to do before.
Young people, rather than working in the hospitality industry, for example being waiters, or working in other services that do not seem sophisticated to them, prefer not to work. Big mistake. Young people want to be millionaires and entrepreneurs overnight, but without education we witness this risk: this is the generation that will lead Romania in 15-20 years”, said Daniel David.
One million young people will vote on June 9 for the first time
It is about 4 generations who, from the last election until now, have reached the legal age to exercise their right to vote. This time, young people are more numerous than those who have passed the legal retirement age.
Romanians with the right to vote according to age category:
230,005 young people – 18 years old
225,251 young people – 19 years old
222,992 young people – 20 years old
218,061 young people – 21 years old

“Among these young people, we know from 2015 and it was later confirmed that a very large number – 40% – at 15 were functionally illiterate. I hope that from 15 to 18, this will have been corrected for many and there will be options pro-democratic.
There are young people with higher education who vote for certain things, I hope for a European Romania, of education. There are also young people with secondary education who project themselves into other options – some may vote out of frustration in a not very rational manner, I hope they don’t slip into extremist, anti-system attitudes, that is, on the idea of changing the system without putting anything in its place”. explained Daniel David.
