Summary note
In light of the structural difficulties in European labour markets, examines the complex interactions between formal education, professional training, high unemployment, low market mobility, inefficient wage setting, and poorly designed institutions. Discusses which policies are necessary to render the educational systems more efficient and high skills more accessible to a wider range of people.
