Lithuanian youth were hit hard by the global economic and financial crisis and, despite notable signs of progress, the unemployment rate continues to be higher than it was at the beginning of the crisis. A key priority for policy makers is to address long-standing challenges, which are manifest in a fundamental problem of poor quality of jobs, implying that many youth are trapped in low-paid, informal jobs, which prevent them from developing and fully utilising their skills and capacities.

This report provides a detailed diagnosis of the youth labour market and VET system in Lithuania from an international comparative perspective, and offers tailored recommendations to help improve school-to-work transitions. It also provides an opportunity for Lithuania to learn from the innovative measures that other countries have taken to strengthen the skills of youth and their employment outcomes, notably through the implementation of a Youth Guarantee.
