Introduction
The transition of young people to adult life can be a very unequal process: while some benefit from new opportunities, others experience vulnerability and exclusion. The challenge to local and regional authorities is to reduce this “youth divide”. In doing so, they need to find a balance between proactive policies and reactive support mechanisms so that these will benefit the most disadvantaged and promote the inclusion of all young people.
