Special Eurobarometer $meta.survey.reference : European youth in 2016

This survey, dedicated to European youth, was conducted among 10 294 young Europeans aged 16-30 in the 28 Member States between 9 and 25 April 2016. The image that comes out is: -More than half of Europe's young people have the impression that, in their country, the young have been marginalised and excluded from economic and social life by the crisis (57%). - At the European level, an absolute majority of young people (59%) say that their national education system is well adapted to the current world of work. These respondents are particularly likely to be people in countries where the young feel least left out of economic life on account of the crisis. - A large majority of young Europeans (61%) do not want to study, undergo training or work in another EU country, while 32% would like to do so. - Across the EU as a whole, 88% of young people aged 16 at 30 years have never travelled to another EU country to study or work. - 90% of respondents say that it is important for young European to learn about the EU and how its institutions work. - For more than half (51%), voting in European elections is the best way of participating effectively in public life in the EU.
