“Social inclusion and young people: breaking down the barriers”;
Helen Colley, Philipp Boetzelen, Bryony Hoskins and Teodora Parveva
 Social exclusion, the polarisation of the types of chances life offers to different groups of young people, is increasing. It is spatially concentrated in some regions and neighbourhoods and is arguably linked to social class.
Race and gender can also contribute to this phenomenon, as can other inequalities such as disability.
Social inclusion is therefore one of the central goals of European policies towards young people, especially in relation to employment, lifelong learning and vocational guidance.
This book presents key findings from a research seminar organised by the European Youth Partnership on the theme of “Social Inclusion and Young People”. The articles included give a picture of the forms of social exclusion affecting young people nowadays and provide evidence of the progress of strategies to promote social inclusion.
As part of the framework partnership agreement on youth between the Council of Europe and the European Commission, the research seminar and this publication support efforts in the fields of youth policy, education and training to build a more inclusive society for all.
