Abstract

This National Youth Strategy, consisting of seven Sections, regulates the employment opportunities in general and youth employment in particular because it comprises a strategic priority of any government. However there exists an important difference between good political will and what happens in reality. While young people in Albania have a higher chance of finding a job than older ages, there exists a stark inequality among younger generations employed in leading positions and those in lower ranking jobs. Also as a result of the regime change in the country, younger generations are better equipped and able to adapt and integrate in the emergent labor markets; however, employment opportunities available do not match expectations among young people. As environmental education and action, the strategy aims at the promotion and support of programs that create opportunities for young people to contribute to the regeneration of forests and green urban areas through the planting of trees.
