EuroCohort introduced at the kick-off meeting of new COST network YOUNG-IN

EuroCohort researchers Marge Unt (TLU), Anita Stasulane (DU), Renata Franc (IPI) and Magda Nico (ISCTE-IUL) belong to COST network YOUNG-IN: Transdisciplinary solutions to cross sectoral disadvantage in youth. At the kick off meeting of this COST network on 19^th of September in Brussels the researchers found the opportunity to introduce the idea of EuroCohort as well as to distribute leaflets to other participants. The COST project participants saw common interests of the two projects and deemed EuroCohort to be interesting and necessary.

COST network YOUNG-IN: Transdisciplinary solutions to cross sectoral disadvantage in youth brings together youth researchers from different disciplines and aims to understand the interrelationship of disadvantages that young people across Europe face in the process of entering the adulthood and how policies can mitigate this negative spill-over effect. Specifically, the network is interested in sets of circumstances and factors that prevent young people from: finding a decent job; starting a family when they want and making their voice heard in the policy processes.
