Youth Policy Dialogue with EVP Roxana Mînzatu

Can we build a more affordable future for young Europeans? Addressing challenges in housing, work and cost of living

Executive Vice-President Roxana Mînzatu will host a Youth Policy Dialogue in Brussels on 3 March, in the margins of Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion's annual flagship event - the European Employment and Social Rights Forum.   

The discussion will focus on the cost of living, exploring what it means for young people to build a life in Europe today and addressing the challenges linked to economic disparities and the affordability of essential goods and services. 

Participants will share their prospectives on the expenses that most affect their everyday lives, and discuss how salaries, job security, and career prospects influence their economic stability. The dialogue will also examine access to affordable housing and reflect on the types of support young people need most. 

The event will not be livestreamed, but key outcomes will be shared in a full report available on this page following the dialogue.
