Slovakia
Our society hasn’t developed proper precaution and arrangements yet to call it youth friendly
society. As mentioned above according to the report of OECD from 2007 the unemployment
rate of young people in Slovakia is the second highest of OECD countries. Almost 60% of
unemployed in the age of 15‐24 searches for a job more than one year what is three times
longer than in other OECD countries. Barriers remain in an employers sector, too. Employers
are not interested in employing especially young women because they constitute the risk of
early maternity/paternity leave. There are almost none strategies developed for coordination
of work and family (e.g. support of part‐time jobs for parents with small children).
