Bulgarians and Romanians gain EU work access
Bulgarians and Romanians became eligible to work anywhere within the European Union, with the lifting of labour market restrictions. The move, seven years after the two countries joined EU, comes amid heated debate over the impact of opening doors to the poorest of its 28 members. The lifting of restrictions on Romanians and Bulgarians working in several European Union countries has not seen plane loads of them heading west and the leaders of Bulgaria and Romania have dismissed invasion fears.
The EU has rebuffed attempts to curtail their movement and downplayed suggestions of a flood of people seeking social welfare benefits rather than work. "In hard times, mobile EU citizens are all too often an easy target," said Laszlo Andor, EU employment commissioner said.
Some right-wing British politicians are particularly alarmed but Damian Draghici, an adviser to Romania's prime minister, said that is nonsense: "I believe that this is more of a political game... or a way to blow things out of proportion. I don't think Romanians are going to invade England."
Tjobs, a leading employment recruitment agency in Romania, revealed that recently fewer people there have been asking about jobs in Britain.
"The commission does recognize that there can be local problems created by a large, sudden influx of people from other EU countries into a particular city or region," he said.
"They can put a strain on education, housing and social services. The solution is to address these specific problems - not to put up barriers against these workers."
Britain tightened access to social benefits for EU migrants, with the introduction of measures that include a waiting period of three months for newcomers wanting to claim unemployment benefits.
"Accelerating the start of these new restrictions will make the UK a less attractive place for EU migrants who want to come here and try to live off the state," said British Prime Minister David Cameron said in mid-December.
Debate and public concern has also centred around Bulgaria and Romania‘s Roma communities. Their integration has been a long-standing problem within the EU.

Nineteen EU members had already opened their doors to workers from Bulgaria and Romania by last month. Some of the leading economies - Germany, Britain, France, Spain and the Netherlands - were not among them however.

Erasmus+
Erasmus+, the new EU programme for education, training, youth and sport, due to begin in January 2014, has been approved by the European Parliament.
Aimed at boosting skills, employability and supporting the modernisation of education, training and youth systems, the seven-year programme will have a budget of €14.7 billion - 40% higher than current levels. More than 4 million people will receive support to study, train, work or volunteer abroad, including 2 million higher education students, 650 000 vocational training students and apprentices, as well as more than 500 000 going on youth exchanges or volunteering abroad. Students planning a full Master's degree abroad, for which national grants or loans are seldom available, will benefit from a new loan guarantee scheme run by the European Investment Fund.
Erasmus+ will also provide funding for education and training staff, youth workers and for partnerships between universities, colleges, schools, enterprises, and not-for-profit organisations.
"I am pleased that the European Parliament has adopted Erasmus+ and proud that we have been able to secure a 40% budget increase compared with our current programmes. This demonstrates the EU's commitment to education and training. Erasmus+ will also contribute to the fight against youth unemployment by giving young people the opportunity to increase their knowledge and skills through experience abroad. As well as providing grants for individuals, Erasmus+ will support partnerships to help people make the transition from education to work, and reforms to modernise and improve the quality of education in Member States. This is crucial if we are to equip our young generation with the qualifications and skills they need to succeed in life," said Androulla Vassiliou, Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth.
Erasmus+ has three main targets: two-thirds of the budget is allocated to learning opportunities abroad for individuals, within the EU and beyond; the remainder will support partnerships between educational institutions, youth organisations, businesses, local and regional authorities and NGOs, as well as reforms to modernise education and training and to promote innovation, entrepreneurship and employability.
The new Erasmus+ programme combines all the EU's current schemes for education, training, youth and sport, including the Lifelong Learning Programme (Erasmus, Leonardo da Vinci, Comenius, Grundtvig), Youth in Action and five international cooperation programmes (Erasmus Mundus, Tempus, Alfa, Edulink and the programme for cooperation with industrialised countries). This will make it easier for applicants to understand the opportunities available, while other simplifications will also facilitate access.

Youth on the Move
Youth on the Move is a comprehensive package of policy initiatives on educationand employment for young people in Europe. Launched in 2010, it is part of the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
Goals
- making education and training more relevant to young people's needs
- encouraging more of them to take advantage of EU grants to study or train in another country
- encouraging EU countries to take measures simplifying the transition from education to work.
- Coordinating policy to identify and stimulate action at EU and national level;
- Specific actions designed for young people – such as the preparatory action 'Your first EURES job' for labour market mobility within the EU, and increased support for young entrepreneurs via the European progress microfinance facility.
- Around 5.5 million young people are unemployed in the EU, which means that 1 in 5 people under 25 who are willing to work cannot find a job.
- The unemployment rate among young people is over 20% – double the rate for all age groups combined and nearly 3 times the rate for the over-25s.
- 7.5 million people aged 15 to 24 are currently neither in a job nor in education or training.
Youth on the Move aims to improve young people’s education and employability, to reduce high youth unemployment and to increase the youth-employment rate – in line with the wider EU target of achieving a 75% employment rate for the working-age population (20-64 years) – by

The curious case of European youth unemployment: an inconvenient truth
Youth on the move… but where to?
One last, but persisting, political contradiction is to be noted. Part of the Europe 2020 strategy is to promote ‘youth on the move’ and social inclusion. Let’s bring forth from the shadows Regulation No. 1408/71 on the freedom of movement for workers and equal social rights. Since 1971, workers’ mobility has formed part of the Union’s basic principles. Yet, embroiled in the political debate of social mobility, national governments such as the UK Coalition have recently launched proposals for reform on immigration control.
To top it all off, the worrying rise in anti-immigration discourse and the resurgence of far-right political parties, such as the French National Front or the Greek Golden Dawn, have constrained the debates into protectionist fetters. Prospects for migrant and youth labour markets today are six of one, half a dozen of the other. Xenophobia and racism put the EU project of workers’ ‘mobility’ or ‘immigration’ – in whichever way politicians decide to label it – under vehement pressure and unsafe waters. What is clear is that the situation plays into the hands of radical parties.
Keep calm and…browse
So what next? The onus is on both sides. Recruiters and new graduate to new graduate. Firstly, let’s face the facts: European universities need to increase their competitive output. The Economist stated that, in 2011, only 2 European universities – the traditional Oxbridge tandem – were ranked among the world’s top 10 universities. A complete overhaul of university criteria and educational systems is needed. Secondly, a tailor-made labour market must be created. Positive economists assert that economic recovery is under way. Fantastic news. Now such hope should give adequate momentum for young cutting-edge entrepreneurs to kick off their start-ups. Likewise, the mushrooming of speculative bonds in the financial market should be an opportunity for companies to invest a greater amount in youth working potential.
I remain quite sceptical about the latest craze on ‘voluntary work’ or the ‘work for free’ approach. Androulla Vassiliou, member of the European Commission responsible for Education and Youth, calls for ‘increased opportunities for volunteering, youth exchanges and other forms of participation for young people’. Surely Ms Vassiliou could better justify her Commissioner’s salary with more elaborate options for young hard workers?
The emergence of new projects, such as the Youth Mentoring and Apprenticeship Programme, is encouraging companies to invest in Mentoring and Apprenticeship (M&A). The Commission plans to grant professional cards to specific professionals in order to increase the mobility of EU workers across the Union, notably among nurses and engineers. National schemes are pushed forward too. In the UK, eight core cities agreed to sign the Youth Contract, enabling local young employees to enter into local businesses. However ambitious and honourable these projects may look, they remain at an embryonic stage.
Last but not least, while it is true that young job seekers remain at the mercy of a dysfunctional technocratic elite, it is also certain that youth has stagnated in a self-complacent pessimism. Budding job seekers will need to adapt, and acknowledge that the digitalisation of all professions and the spread of social media have become the high yield nerve centre of growth. They should orientate their job-hunting accordingly and target those winning industries. I, for one, should formulate career backup plans, remain plugged in and browse the varying opportunities that are on offer.
ip of the iceberg…
To this day, no European leader has convincingly articulated concrete measures for fear of losing office. A crisis of democratic legitimacy and a leadership vacuum are impeding any fast-track solutions. Most national governments across the EU are battling voters’ general disenchantment with the political class. Yet, “the beginning of every government starts with the education of our youth”. Were Pythagoras still alive, he could certainly teach this to some of our European political leaders today.

Papy-Boom in Europe. The need of Engineers!!
Most old engineering companies in Europe are facing a ‘Papy Boom’ (ie people massively hired in the sixties are now retiring and need to be replaced) while too few people study engineering, IT and sciences. Not only these people need to be replaced, if the companies in which they are working want to keep on going, but they need to train their successors, too. They need to pass on the way of working and the company mentality.
There is good econometric evidence that the demand for graduate engineers exceeds supply and the demand is pervasive across all sectors of the economy. The implication of this is that the economy needs more graduate engineers for both engineering and non engineering jobs. The evidence can be seen in a persistent, sizable wage premium for people holding engineering degrees and this premium has grown over the last 20 years.
Large engineering companies (ie PHILIPS (click for available jobs), SIEMENS) and gradually growing engineering companies (ie ASML (click for available jobs)) are in need of skilled engineers.

Germany in seek of skilled engineers
Over-employed-enfreude! Germany is uber-short on labor | GlobalPost: "According to the German Chamber of Commerce (DIHK) this is among companies’ biggest concerns at the moment. “Every third company we surveyed said that they saw the skills shortage as one of the biggest risks to the development of their business over the next 12 months,” Stefan Hardege, head of the DIHK’s labor market unit, told GlobalPost.
Many sectors are hit, he explained, but companies that rely on engineering and other technical skills — the core of Germany’s powerful export economy — are particularly affected.
The problem is already costing a fortune. About 92,000 engineering jobs were not filled last year, leading to an estimated loss of about 8 billion euros, according to a study published in April by the German Engineering Association (VDI) and the Cologne Institute for Economic Research (IW).
The VDI says in March, 2012 there were 110,400 unfilled engineering jobs in Germany, an increase of 26 percent on the same month last year. The states of Bavaria, Baden-Wuerttemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia were particularly badly hit. Meanwhile, there are currently 38,000 open positions in telecoms and IT, according to industry association BITKOM."

Engineers Barometer: 10,000 open jobs for engineers
The shortage of engineers continues, evidenced by the barometer. Even more: in 2011 increased the demand for engineers by 30% to almost 10,000 vacancies."Despite the crisis, the need for technical profiles, and more specifically to engineers", said Saskia Kinds, CEO of USG Innotiv. «83% percent of companies surveyed would even expand its engineering teams. Still, expect only half of the companies that they are within six months will find a suitable candidate.
