BackA thematic workshop was held on the important subject theme of employment opportunities for the youth. Several scholars and representatives of the civil society and the private sector held their presentations on the one-day event which took place in the Office of the Commissioner for Fundamental Rights.
In his welcome speech, Prof. Máté Szabó, the Commissioner for Fundamental Rights said that in the last 6 years the Office has addressed the question of employment, especially that of the employment for the youth. Today the high unemployment rate of the youth is a pan-European problem and sadly the most prepared generation is hit.
The Office has already inquired into public employment from the perspective of fundamental rights in 2012, in the framework of this project the Office was supported by the Hungarian Association of Craftsmen’s Corporations and has also cooperated with other organizations.
Prof. Máté Szabó explained that in the project dealing with the issue of how the young generations could become entrepreneurs, the Office examined to what extent legal and administrative institutions prevent the young generation from starting an enterprise and pose difficulties for them.
