Alarming figures for youth, DP: One in five young people without work and education

For the Democratic Party, the latest INSTAT data show that Albania continues to experience a structural crisis in the youth labor market, where 20.1% of the 15-29 year old age group, by 2025, will be outside the education system, unemployed and not involved in vocational training.

In a statement from the blue headquarters, the head of the Department of Education, Lili Sula, said that such a situation has reduced the opportunity for young people to start families and own their own home.

According to Sula, Edi Rama is primarily responsible for the situation in which the youth finds themselves, while adding that the prime minister is destroying the future of the country.

'Dear citizens, let us all be in the square today – each with the heavy weight of the suffering of 13 years of autocratic rule, let us turn the most anti-Albanian prime minister on his back and let him struggle until he resigns,' said Sula.

The latest INSTAT data show that Albania continues to experience a structural crisis in the youth labor market, where 20.1% of the 15-29 age group, by 2025, will be outside the education system, unemployed and not involved in vocational training.

This means that 1 in every 5 young people is outside the structures that build skills, provide income, and create opportunities for the future.

This situation of many years has increased poverty, emigration, social isolation, loss of professional skills, and economic dependence of young people on their families, as well as reduced opportunities for young people to start families, live in rented homes, and have reduced the chances of owning their own home.

In the absence of opportunities for education, training and employment, some of these young people are more exposed to phenomena such as the informal economy, exploitation, use of narcotic substances or involvement in criminal activities.

According to INSTAT, within this age group of 15-29 years, 38.5% of young people are actively unemployed, as they are looking for work and are ready to enter the labor market.

The rest, about 20%, are engaged in family duties, raising children or taking care of someone in the family, which indicates the very high level of unemployment for the most vital age of every person and the complete lack of social, educational and health services, while a high percentage of this age group is engaged in caring for elderly parents or children in this way.

A fairly significant portion, 40.4%, is ranked in the "other" category, which expresses the high level of informality or uncertainty in declaring their economic status.

The percentage of Albanian youth who are neither in work nor in school is almost twice the EU average and at very high regional levels.

But the country's widespread destruction does not impress the prime minister, who, shaken these days by the light of hope and faith on the boulevard, personally deals with the protesters, blackmails them and unleashes the police to brutally violence against parents and young people, alarmed by the inevitable end, imprisons the parent of a child with many needs and denies the other young person even the day of the wedding ceremony.

The prime minister who expelled over 1 million Albanians and today tries to hide his failures from the external and internal enemy like his predecessors - this prime minister who destroyed the structure of every normal function of the nation can no longer cover the sun with the screen of his own propaganda facades - the sun that does not set on the Tirana boulevard of Albanians in protest.

 Despite all the effort to hide the panic that has gripped him from the protests - this summer is hot - today the sons and daughters from the diaspora that you have scattered in every country in the world are coming to take over the country and remove you, Edi Rama - who are the country's greatest evil.

Dear citizens, let us all be in the square today – each with the heavy weight of the suffering of 13 years of autocratic rule, let us turn it against the most anti-Albanian prime minister and let him struggle until he resigns.
