In order to strengthen the establishment of youth policy across sectors and to better take into account the realities of life of young people, the Austrian Youth Strategy will be expanded in terms of content during this legislative period. The youth strategy was anchored in the government program 2020-2024 As of 2020, the Strategy defines 4 fields of action, namely education and training, employment and entrepreneurship, life quality and social cooperation, and media and information. Corresponding to each of these fields of action, Youth Objectives have been established. Based on the EU-Youth Strategy 2019-2027, these objectives have been linked to the European Youth Goals with the aim of contributing to their implementation.
