System kształcenia a zatrudnienie młodzieży w krajach Unii Europejskiej

The purpose of this article is to present dependences between the level of education and the situation of youth on the labour market in the European Union. Young people leaving the education system and entering the labour market face many barriers. They can't find a job and especially they are worried about lack of good job opportunities in their field of study. One of the main concerns of young job seekers is that the available jobs are poorly paid, so they don't guarantee the suitable living standard. The activity and employment rates of young people in all European countries are much lower than in the remaining age groups and that confirms their difficult situation on the labour market.
