Paragraph 23
23. Recognises the serious challenges that young people in the EU face with the economic crisis; considers that employment, education, training, mobility and the social inclusion of young Europeans are issues of strategic importance for the development of the EU and European society; insists on mainstreaming and prioritising these issues in all relevant policies financed from the EU budget, alongside the concrete youth- related instruments proposed by the Commission.Calls, therefore, for the creation of a ‘Youth Initiative Axis’ within the EU Programme for Social Change and Innovation, with its own funding to support specific innovative programmes as well as the exchange of best practice and mutual learing in order to fight youth unemployment, including the possibility of introducing a legally enforceable youth guarantee to ensure that every young person in Europe is offered a job, further education or work- focused training at the latest four months after leaving education or after becoming unemployed;
