Résumé anglais Early investments are crucial for all aspects of human capital formation. Investing in youth is an occasion to reunite social and economic goals. Investing early in youth education and care is much more efficient than repairing later when grown ups turn out to be unskilled, unemployed, depressed or violent. Investing in youth is a centre-piece for modernising our societies to stimulate performance and cohesion. A number of youth policy initiatives have been implemented across Europe, but the youth agenda can be further pushed forward in three dimensions. First, more investments are needed from public and private sources. Second, most fields of youth policy interact with each other and the situation of youth is deeply dependant on mainstream policy decisions. This calls for appropriate policy coordination. Third, there is ample opportunity for policy improvement through exchange of practical knowledge and experience.
