Greece and <strong>in</strong> Spa<strong>in</strong> 60% of the youth workers are <strong>in</strong> full-time positi<strong>on</strong>s, <strong>in</strong> Norway 88% and<br />
<strong>in</strong> Romania 100%.<br />
Regard<strong>in</strong>g the qualificati<strong>on</strong> of youth workers it has to be stated that the data is not complete.<br />
Many <strong>in</strong>stituti<strong>on</strong>s were not able to answer that questi<strong>on</strong>. Nevertheless there is a trend that<br />
shows that employed staff is well qualified and has a higher or professi<strong>on</strong>al school educati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
In Germany data is <strong>on</strong>ly available <strong>in</strong> <strong>on</strong>e municipality but shows that 90% of the employed<br />
youth workers have at least a professi<strong>on</strong>al school educati<strong>on</strong>. In Greece it has to be noted<br />
that the percentage of youth workers with no formal educati<strong>on</strong> falls to 7% when they are<br />
work<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the educati<strong>on</strong>al or social service secti<strong>on</strong>s. In the Netherlands little <strong>in</strong>formati<strong>on</strong><br />
was recoverable about the qualificati<strong>on</strong> of youth workers, but it can be menti<strong>on</strong>ed that <strong>on</strong>e<br />
third of the volunteers are tra<strong>in</strong>ed. If there is a tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g for them depends <strong>on</strong> the culture of the<br />
provider and <strong>on</strong> the tasks volunteers are deal<strong>in</strong>g with. If they are demand<strong>in</strong>g tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g is<br />
regularly provided. In Austria the rate of tra<strong>in</strong>ed volunteers is with 71% very high.<br />
