The Union calls on authorities to stop departure of BiH youth

FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, August 9 (FENA) - The Alliance of Independent Trade Unions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the occasion of August 12, International Youth Day, reiterated a number of problems that young people are facing in Bosnia and Herzegovina, resulting in a real exodus of youth from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Union said. They also urged the authorities to take appropriate measures to stop this.

High unemployment rates, an education system that does not meet the requirements of the labor market, precarious and low-paid jobs make many young people seek not only a better and more secure present but also future in Western Europe or even on other continents.

“International Youth Day should be a day to celebrate the achievements of our youth, proudly present fantastic results they achieved in the fields of sports, science, politics, economics and a day when we will further encourage them to actively participate in society and all social events. We know that it is possible to stop the existing negative trends, and we urge all those responsible to make extra effort to make Bosnia and Herzegovina a country where youth would stay and work, develop and prosper. Political instability, labor market challenges and limited space for political and social participation of young people must be eliminated to avoid their disengagement and ultimately their departure from our country,” said the Alliance of Independent Trade Unions of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

August 12 was first designated the International Youth Day by the UN General Assembly in 1999.

The first official International Youth Day was observed in 2000.
