  1. um... I think you're missing cause for effect here... Why would a young person get out of family housing, when they can't afford rent on income they have, particularly if they can't get a stable job, that would pay enough to cover that rent? I'm in that boat currently. Live with my parents, because rents have skyrocketed and, even though I have just below median salary, I can't afford rent.

  2. Job hunting was a nightmare. If you don't have both on the job experience and university degree, you're crewed. I feel, that we need to demand more from companies, that are making the profits in our economies. Youth unemployment is fertile grounds for general unemployment down the line, so, what I'd like to see, would be a tax on unemployment. Say 5% of company turnover per each whole percentage point of difference between general unemployment and youth unemployment... But on a grander scale, Europe needs to reevaluate its goals. Environmentalism had taken away great many jobs in material refining and product manufacturing, which were typically fields, which could take anybody and paid reasonably well, because these are uggly and dirty industries.
