This report on youth policy in Moldova is based on a cross-sectoral understanding of youth policy, it focuses on youth policy structures, education (formal and especially non-formal), transition to the labour market and entrepreneurship. There are overviews of policy related to social security (health and social protection, childcare), juvenile justice and sport. Particular attention has been paid to questions such as migration, urban—rural divisions and the Transnistria issue. There is also a chapter dedicated to cross-cutting issues, including youth information, youth participation and social exclusion. This report has been enriched by the experience gained from the previous reviews on youth policy of countries in western and eastern Europe and in the Commonwealth of independent States, which have nurtured the development of an informed way of thinking about youth policy and strategies for implementation.
