We call them the invisible, these young people aged 15 to 25 who drop out without having obtained a diploma. For a year, the number of these young adults who are neither in the world of work, nor in studies or training, has increased in Europe under the effect of the health crisis. And that poses real problems for society, as in Turkey, where 25% of young people are unemployed. In Istanbul, the explanations of Anne Andlauer.
In France, 13% and a half of 15-29 year olds are unemployed, without training or study. This is 1% more than 1 year ago and the Covid-19 epidemic. But, in the north of France, in Lievin, a school is trying to change the situation. Its name: the second chance school! It supports hundreds of young people aged 16 to 27 without any diploma and dropping out, with the aim of making them want to learn again. There are 135 schools of this type in France. The report of Lise Verbeke.
There is dropping out of school, but how do you find a job when, in addition, there is a stint in prison? In Italy, a religious community has been working in prisons for years. With its “Beyond the Bars” project, the Catholic community of John XXIII supports nearly 300 prisoners per year towards their return to society. Their credo: to combine training with the idea of forgiveness to oneself. The explanations of Cecile Debarge.
How to beat crime when mafia networks are well established and profitable. The question arises in almost ALL European countries, in regions far from the capital, and with few job opportunities. Each year, on the continent, more than 110 billion euros are thus drawn from the sole trafficking of drugs, tobacco, VAT fraud and cargo theft. In Italy, the poorest region of the country, Calabria, has for decades been grappling with the most powerful mafia, the Ndrangheta. In this landlocked region, the Ndrangheta continues to intimidate the population to maintain its economic control, but in recent years the Calabrians have been organizing themselves to resist the grip of the mafia by offering economic alternatives to the population. This is the report of our correspondent Blandine Hugonnet.
