Enabling Social Participation Among Young Adults

Following Germany’s presidency of the EU Council from 1 July to 31 December 2020 and considering the strong relevance of decisions on European policy for young people, the Ger-man Federal Youth Advisory Board (in short: FYAB; in German: Bundesjugendkuratori-um/BJK) is now making selected publications available in English. In so doing, FYAB is not only highlighting challenges in child and youth policy that are relevant at the pan-European level but also accounting for the transnational realities of young people's lives.

In the statement Enabling Social Participation Among Young Adults!, FYAB calls for youth policy to give systematic consideration to early adulthood. In the context of European youth policy, this means engaging with challenges for European policy thrown up by the increasingly flexible biographies of young adults and the effects of this flexibilization on young people.
