1. Introduction
About the Internet Guide for the European Social Dialogue (Concept Document)
EZA‘s Concept Document – an Internet Guide for the European Social Dialogue – was initially drafted by Matthias Homey in April 2002 and has since become a key element in our educa-tional work about the European Social Dialogue. It is designed to provide the representatives of our member centres with suggestions about how to draw up their project proposals, thereby making it easier for interested parties to search for sources and serving as an inspi-ration and source of knowledge for their work.
This year, we decided to subject the most recent (2014) version of the Internet Guide for the European Social Dialogue to a thorough topical review while maintaining its internal struc-ture. At the start of the chapter, we provide an overview of the general information on the themes, before identifying significant points, which take into consideration current discus-sions and developments at European level. We have only accepted websites and documents, which highlight national questions, if these are also relevant to other countries.
As before, the Internet Guide for the European Social Dialogue is published in four lan-guages: German, English, French and Spanish. If any websites or documents are not available in one of the four languages, there is always a link to the corresponding English language version. On the other page, there is a list of websites and documents available in languages other than the four mentioned above, but this may not always be explicitly indicated. Just click on the link and search for other language versions.
We hope that our new Internet Guide for the European Social Dialogue will provide you not only with new information but also with inspiring suggestions of how to develop new ap-proaches and ideas. Of course, we would welcome your proposals for additions, new ways of looking at issues and challenges.

2.3.7 Core area: Young workers
25
In focus: What effect does the current economic and employment crisis have on the young work-
force?
Can an education and training system that is recognised by all in Europe help reduce youth unemployment?
How can education and training systems be improved, so that they meet the altered challenges facing high quality work?
How can we ensure that, after they are trained, young workers are not forced into pre-carious working relationships due to lack of experience?
What changes are required to ensure the participation and, therefore, the representation of young workers in workers organisations and works councils?
How can young workers from a poor socio-economic environment and those with little or no education and training be better integrated into the jobs market?
What measures can be put in place to ensure that the school drop-out rate is a maximum of 10% and the high-school drop-out rate changed to a minimum of 40%?

In focus:
How can it be guaranteed that all employees have equal opportunities and access to a decent job?
How must the working time arrangements be phrased in employment contracts and col-lective bargaining agreements to ensure that jobs are created for everyone?

How can we ensure that the employment markets provide equal opportunities for wom-en, young as well as elderly employees and people with disabilities?
What contributions can employee organizations make to more distributive justice?
What do employee organizations have to do to improve the integration of disadvantaged groups into their strategies and activities?
