Eurobarometer 337 survey : Mobility in EU positively influences labour market, according to 44% of Romanians

Nearly 50 percent of Europeans and 44 percent of Romanians believe that mobility in the space of the European Union (EU) has a positive effect on the evolution of labour market, shows the Eurobarometer 337 survey - Geographical and labour market mobility, by the European Commission (EC).

The authors of the study, quoted on the occasion of the European Year 2010, underlined that the main obstacles to mobility and social inclusion on the European labour market are the level of education and relocation costs.

According to information made public by the European Commission, a high professional qualification will be required by 2020, along with adaptability and innovation,for 35 percent of the jobs in EU (15 million), statistics showing that about 15 percent of young Europeans aged between 18 and 24 years have not attended secondary school.

'The most important thing we can do to solve the problem of poverty is to ensure that all poor children, regardless of ethnicity or their background, enter the educational system at an early age, preferably at the age of 3 years,' said the Ambassador of the European Year 2010 for fighting poverty and social exclusion in Romania and the Chairman of the Ovidiu Rom Association, Leslie Hawke. Leslie Hawke noted that, currently, early education is accessible only to middle class children, who risk to put the EU in the position of inability to compete with Asia in the world economy in the next 20 years.

The European Commission has recently launched the initiative 'Youth on the Move' through which it aims to provide opportunity to young people to develop competencies and the experience they need when in search of a job.

EU sustains the European Fund for Southeast Europe, which offers access to financing to small- and micro-enterprises in the region. Ever since its inception (2005), the European Fund for Southeast Europe has created over 250,000 jobs in regions affected by poverty and military conflicts, Agerpres informs.
