The union is adamant about seeing concrete and substantial changes being made to fight off rising youth unemployment.
OGBL's youth department has released a press statement demanding that unemployment status becomes a universal right. Currently, compensation limits are bound to age, time of registered unemployment, and diplomas held by the person making the demand.
Background: Youth unemployment almost at 25% in April
The union further advocates for an expansion of support measures and a reform of current regulations to aid young people in finding employment.
According to Eurostat, national unemployment of people between the age of 16 and 25 is set at 25%, which puts Luxembourg behind Spain and Greece.
