The EESC is the first EU institution to introduce the EU Youth Test

Today, the EESC decided to start a pilot project to implement the EU Youth Test in its opinions and to set up a new Youth Group, thus delivering on important priorities of President's Rรถpke political manifesto.

Young people must be involved in ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ policy-making.

They can help create policies that better fit future challenges.

The implementation of the EU #YouthTest can help by strengthening youth participation.

The EU Youth Test

The EESC points at the need to improve youth participation, tackling in particular the lack of youth democratic representation and the lack of a youth perspective outside of the traditional youth policy domain. The EU Youth Test should not substitute meaningful engagement with young people in general and should complement existing participatory mechanisms. It should be part of the Better Regulation Toolbox as a separate tool, since future generations and young people deserve specific attention. The EESC encourages the EU institutions and Member States to implement measures and mechanisms that ensure that the youth perspective is taken into account in every policy field. Suitable resources should be made available for meaningful youth participation in policy-making.
