At its December plenary, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) discussed the issues affecting young people in the labour market in the context of the 2022 European Year of Youth and the 2023 European Year of Skills.

The needs of refugees and our Ukrainian neighbours must also be a priority of the European Year of Skills.
