Successful Youth Policy Measures

Our analysis and comparison is based on the study of the measures adopted by the six Regional Governments involved in our study. Regional measures are organised below according to the different lifecycle stages youth face in their personal and professional life. In our study, the measures are considered as policy-making units, through which regional policies are constructed and on which their effectiveness depends. We consider the measures as a policy implementation tool which usually defines objectives, expected results, tasks and components (costs, beneficiares, etc.), thereby facilitating an analytical approach to the effects and impacts of specific measures or their combinations rather than of policies and systems which would be a much more complex and delicate analysis. This approach support institutional Learning and trasfer processes whose objectives can be ideas and measures themselves as they are put into pratice.
