Cowork4YOUTH Observatory

The Cowork4YOUTH Observatory created in the context of the Cowork4YOUTH project analyses youth unemployment, inactivity and NEETs (Not in Education, Employment or Training) across the European Economic Area.

The Observatory:

  • Provides Web-GIS based data and visualisations on youth population, employment, skills, unemployment, and NEETs across European NUTS-2 regions.
  • Uses maps, graphs, charts, and indexes (such as the Location Quotient) to identify regional labour and skills patterns.
  • Highlights key youth challenges, including unemployment, skills mismatches and inactivity.
  • Supports researchers, policy makers, youth stakeholders, and the public with data for analysis, education, and evidence-based decision making.
  • Integrates data primarily from Eurostat, while also incorporating sources such as CEDEFOP and OECD.
