Effective education and labour market transitions of young people

Summary

Effective educational transitions, in particular participation and completion rates in upper secondary and tertiary education, are prominent in the European Education Area, which includes targets on early school leaving and tertiary educational attainment. Promoting successful transitions from education to the labour market has been one of the core European Commission policy activities since the outburst of the Great Recession.

This topic is focused on effective education and labour market transitions of young people.

Detailed Call Description

Effective educational transitions, in particular participation and completion rates in upper secondary and tertiary education, are prominent in the European Education Area, which includes targets on early school leaving and tertiary educational attainment. Promoting successful transitions from education to the labour market has been one of the core European Commission policy activities since the outburst of the Great Recession. The COVID-19 crisis has made educational and labour market transitions more challenging, especially for disadvantaged young people. This may lead to worsening inequalities, which could become persistent unless education and training policies and investments tackle them appropriately.

Proposals should use quantitative and qualitative methods to analyse transitions between educational levels (including between general education and vocational training) and/or between education/training and the labour market and improve the evidence base for policy decisions by addressing several interrelated research questions.

Proposals should also include the voice of young people and other relevant stakeholders as part of the data collection.
