COMMISSION STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT

On EU indicators in the field of youth

1 INTRODUCTION

Through the EU Youth Strategy, the Council invited the Commission to "set up a working group to discuss, in consultation with relevant policy areas, existing data on the situation of
young people and the possible need for the development of indicators in fields where they do
not exist, or where no youth perspective is apparent. The results of this work and proposals
for potential new indicators should be submitted for consideration by the Council no later
than December 2010".

Accordingly, the Commission established an ad-hoc expert group on youth indicators in
January 2010. The group has had two meetings (January and April 2010) as well as extensive
contact by email. It has been comprised of 60 experts from 25 Member States plus Norway
coming from public administrations, research institutions and statistical agencies as well as
from different youth stakeholder groups and the Commission.

The EU Youth Strategy does not operate with an official definition for the specific period in
life when a person is considered to be "young". This definition varies from one Member State
to another and the age to consider differs with time and socio-economic development. As an
instrument for implementing the EU Youth Strategy, the 'Youth in Action' programme targets
young people between 13 and 304. The dashboard of indicators operates with three 5-year
categories where possible, covering the age-range 15-30. For some indicators it is more
suitable to target a more limited age range (for example early leavers from education and
training), to target the child population (at risk of poverty or social exclusion) or, on the other
hand, a limited sample size may necessitate using other age categories. All indicators will
further be broken down by gender and, where relevant, by educational attainment. The
dashboard will be updated and revised on an annual basis.

This document is based on the work of the above expert group on EU indicators on youth, led
by the European Commission. Unlike the general guidance provided by the Europe 2020
headline indicators, its results are supposed to support the more specific EU policy processes
dealing directly or indirectly with youth: the dashboard identifies key indicators for the EU
Youth Strategy that are central to achieving a thorough understanding of the general living
and working situation of young people. It is, therefore, fully complementary to the headline
targets of the Europe 2020 strategy of the European Union and its flagship initiative 'Youth
on the Move' which deals more specifically with youth employment and mobility issues.
Given that two of the headline targets of the Europe 2020 strategy have a bearing on youth,
these two headlines targets are also integrated into the dashboard.

To ensure that these policy indicators can continue to reflect the changing reality for young
people in the EU, and upon request of the Member States, the Commission will continue to
work with the expert group on an annual basis to review the dashboard and propose revisions.
This work will not imply a financial or administrative burden for the Member States. Data for
existing indicators will be collected through existing sources, such as Eurostat. For possible
new indicators outlined in this document, the Commission will consider conducting Flash
Eurobarometers in regular intervals to generate new data, for example every 4 years.
