In Mediterranean partner countries, the integration of a young population into
the labour market is still a fundamental societal problem.
A greater number of jobs with appropriate training levels would offer young people a more
stable situation and more rewarding activity. Consequently, a standard of living increase would
accompany the completion of the demographic transition in the Mediterranean partner countries
(MPC). Relations between northern and southern Mediterranean countries could be more
balanced.
In this publication edited by Bahjat Achikbache, leading expert of social statistics of the
MEDSTAT II program, the authors Yves Detape and Michel Kagan propose axes of a change in nature to
respond positively to these challenges.
Their suggestions result from an in-depth analysis of training data with respect to the
employment market based upon a comparison between the MPC and northern Mediterranean countries
(NMC): Spain, France, Greece, Italy and Turkey.
