Youth and unemployment in the Mediterranean area

Youth unemployment is one of the increasingly growing emergencies in the Mediterranean area, in those European Union Countries, like Greece, Italy and Spain, in which policies couldn’t solve the problem and create employment as well: the number of young people who leave the Countries of the Mediterranean basin looking for a job in Northern Countries is increasing.

The project

The project aims to favour the employment of young people in the Mediterranean area through the launch of a web portal that will provide job offers and demands, advertisements to look for co-operators and investment opportunities in the area, allowing the matching between job offers from enterprises and companies and employment demand from unemployed young people.
