Info

This report focuses on the structures of youth work in these European countries as documented and reported by national reports from the participating institutions and experts. The first part of the report presents central comparative results regarding 16 � the definitions of youth work; � the main fields of action of youth work and � the pathways to qualification of youth workers. On the one hand this provides a structured comparison of the main categories influencing the characteristics of youth work in every country. Particularly regarding the main field of action, it also offers a first mutual framework for commitment on the central categories of youth work in an European context. Short qualitative descriptions of the status of youth work in each country provide the opportunity to deepen the understanding of the nature of youth work in each national context. The second part of the report presents and analyses the available data about youth work at each national level. It provides an overview of the reporting structures and routines in each country and identifies best practices in reporting. The data sources are presented; the scope of the available data is discussed as well as the reasons for the lack of statistic material. As the categories of youth work are not comparable, the data available for each country is presented in separate tables. This gives an overview of the statistically reliable part of youth work and allows gaps to be identified. The third part of the report processes the data about youth work collected by each institution at local level and discusses the particularities of each country. This section examines the main statements made about the nature and scope of youth work and contrasts them to the findings at national level. Part four of this report contains the central findings and discussions lines of the study regarding � the significance of the data about youth work � the statistically educible nature and scope of youth work � the necessary structures and categories of reporting and � the favourable conditions and constraints of documentation. Finally the last part of the report summarises some recommendations regarding possible further action at European level. These recommendations are the result of the fruitful discussions of experts at the concluding conference held on 18 June 2007 in Strasbourg.
3 Methodology The study on “The Socio-Economic Scope of Youth Work” was realised in 7 steps. Step 1: National status reports All partners prepared a national status report compiling available data regarding: � a description of their national welfare system; � the national definition of youth work; � the legal conditions; � the financial sources; � the structure, institutions and stakeholders; � the main fields of action; � linkages to the 3rd sector � and recent political topics related to Youth Work. Step 2: First partners’ meeting The first partners’ meeting was held in January 2007. The meeting outcomes were: � a work plan; � criteria for the selection of municipalities; � a data scheme for the presentation of national and local data; � central questions for the experts interviews � decisions on the structure of the final national reports. Step 3: National statistical reports Each participating country drew up a national statistical report compiling available data about: 17
