Youth transition and skills mismatch in Eastern Partnership countries
This working paper analyses youth transition from education to employment in Eastern Partnership countries, focusing on NEET rates and skills mismatch.
It finds persistently high levels of youth disengagement, strong gender inequalities, and significant skills mismatches that hinder labour market integration, particularly among young women and tertiary graduates.
The paper highlights the need for stronger career guidance, better alignment between education and labour market needs, and expanded work-based learning to support smoother school-to-work transitions.
