The current progress regarding the UN-SDG (Sustainable Development Goal) on youth unemployment - SDG 8 was discussed by experts on 4 December 2017 at the Austrian Federal Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Consumer Protection. The European Centre contributed with a panellist input from Anette Scoppetta on activities regarding the European Centre's Bridge building function and on projects implemented concernning youth unemployment. Albeit the overall positive economic situation in Austria that also has effects on youth employment, the findings of the meeting concerned the need to proactively adress societal challenges such as especially the digitalisation and automatisation process ('future of work').
