Spanish Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030.http://hdl.handle.net/10451/55633Since 2002, youth has become more important on the European agenda and in recent years has become one of the central issues that need addressing in order to shape Europe's future. In the 2021 State of the Union address, the President of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, endorsed this priority with the formal adoption of the "European Year of Youth" and again in her 2022 speech, the President stated that the aspirations of Europe's youth should be at the heart of everything Europe does. This strategic priority represents recognition of the sacrifices and challenges that young Europeans have faced during the Covid-19 crisis, which have been exacerbated as a consequence of the war in Ukraine. This second global crisis has occurred in a very short period of time after the 2008 economic crisis, leaving an even more significant impression on a generation that is now entering its youth. This context of a lack of opportunities is determining the present and conditioning the future.engJuventudeEuropaDireitos sociaisMudança climáticareport
