Youth mainstreaming, youth impact assessment and youth checks

Youth mainstreaming, youth impact assessment and youth checks

Following up on the achievements of the Year of Youth, the report analyses youth mainstreaming practices in 33 European countries, with a focus on youth regulatory impact assessment (RIA) instruments in four EU Member States: Belgium (the Flemish Community), Germany, France and Austria. In the absence of a common term used to designate such instruments, the paper refers to them as ‘youth checks’.

This comparative analysis of the youth checks is a first attempt at delineating the workings of these instruments, highlighting their differences and similarities, and contributing to the exchange of best practices among countries and peer learning.
