Policy Performance and Evaluation: Spain

Abstract

The economic recession has placed under extreme strain the youth labour market and the school to work transition system in Spain. The report, in a three-part format, presents and analyses the background to and recent developments in youth labour market performance, institutions and policies in Spain. The first part focuses on institutional arrangements; the second part focuses on the most recent policy and legal framework innovations; the third, concluding part, provides an assessment of the most likely effects of policy changes and continuities on different youth groups.
