Young men and women are the backbones of the European economy. They are the current generation that will form the market for future generations to come. Therefore it is of utmost importance to make sure that young people nowadays will be ready and prepared to form their own ideas and their own needs for their professional future. That way they will be able to achieve the results that they want when it comes to either creating their own businesses or being a part of the workforce of another business.
Young people are the ones with the potential to enhance the economic capacity and be the cause of the positive economic impact for the society. But to do that they need the right tools, skills, and competencies that will help them be active financial stakeholders. Education is the key here as it is one of the main factors for every kind of economic growth. And of course the higher the education the better the results.
The reason why the number of NEETs seems to be rising is due to the fact that education, although it is the path for economic growth, does not seem to be very appealing and attractive to young men and women. Countless hours are spent every year to lessons that are of no use to young men and women. As a result, there is a certain level of resentment towards the idea of education. And this is something that needs to immediately change if you want things to move forward for young people.
