The Director of Research at Palmos Analysis, Paschalis-Alexandros Temekenidis, presented the results of a survey conducted by the company on youth aged 16–25 in the Region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace (REMTh) at a special seminar held on December 9, 2015, in Kavala. The survey addressed issues related to youth employment and unemployment as well as school dropout rates in the region. The research was conducted as part of the transnational ESPY Project (Experimentation on Social Policy for Youth), in which the Region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace is a partner.
Additionally, key findings from qualitative research conducted within the same project were presented. This research involved educators and representatives of organizations involved in secondary education, training, and employment issues in the REMTh region. The findings from these research activities will be used to develop the "Guide of Sources and Recommendations," which will document the current situation regarding youth unemployment and school dropout in the REMTh region and will include suggestions for better addressing these issues at the local level.
