The Slovakian Rejoinder to Youth Guarantee
Studená, Ivana; Polacková, Zuzana
Palgrave Studies in Adult Education and Lifelong Learning
This chapter reviews the steps taken in Slovakia to adopt and implement Youth Guarantee (YG) and how they interact with existing policy tools and governance structures. There is a long history of a high unemployment rate amongst the Slovak youth, with the lowly skilled youth in particular suffering the most. Hence, youth employability as a priority has been a well-recognised policy goal, and the Youth Employment Initiative (YEI) received a positive response in Slovakia. The situation in the youth labour market has been changing dynamically. The complexity of governance actions, in terms of discussing the effect of YG on domestic adaptations in a multi-actor and multi-level governance context, has not lost its importance in informing the design of effective policy tools supporting lifelong youth employability.
