'No dead ends': What the Dutch can teach us about tackling youth unemployment

The Netherlands boasts one of the lowest rates globally for young people aged 16 to 24 who are not engaged in education, employment, or training. This success suggests a model for other nations grappling with youth unemployment challenges. The Dutch approach appears to effectively integrate young individuals into the workforce or educational pathways, preventing them from becoming disengaged.

Understanding the Dutch strategy can provide valuable insights for countries seeking to reduce their own youth unemployment figures and foster economic opportunity for their younger generations.
