We 7,616,000 young people between 16 and 29 years in the state English, 19.79% of the population. Of these more than seven and a half million young people, only 2. 062,000 are emancipated and emancipated, ie have their own financial resources, physical space itself and constitute a dwelling unit itself. Of these 4,095,000 are young working population working or seeking work (65%). Of these, just over 4 million, 1,566,000 are unemployed (31.64%), and 2,529,000 are working under a temporary employment rates of 47%.
The situation, as all and we all know, is more complicated. If you are under 29 years and over 16 and reside between the Pyrenees and Algeciras have many likely to be a girl or a boy who lives with his parents (7 of 10), unemployed (3 of 10) or a poor job (1 of 2).
"This has been caused by the crisis? Absolutely not. The crisis has been to accentuate, but the precarious situation of youth was also feature in the boom years. If we analyze the data before the crisis, we see that in 2006 59.7% of youth had a job (the terms of this work is a separate issue), while in 2010 this figure had fallen to 44.43% ( 6 out of 10 young in 2006 to 4 out of 10 in 2010). Where are these two young men difference? In the strike, which has soared from 12.8% in 2006 to 31, 64% in 2010. This brutal variation is explained by the year 2008 and 2009, in which the number of stops and young unemployed increased by 43% and 46% respectively over the previous year. In 2007 the number of stops between the youth and unemployed was 738,000 and in 2009 was 1,541,000, reaching 1,566,000 in 2010.
But as explained, the situation before the crisis was not the paradise for the young people. Look at the timing, another characteristic element of precariousness. If it is worrying, and defining the current temporary rate, which stands by 47% in 2006, before the crisis, it was even more. Of all youth who worked more than 56% had temporary contracts.
What's behind the timing? Low wages, job instability, caused by the frequent change of job, failure to develop life projects, lack of rights. A very separate from collective bargaining, labor rights, decent working conditions. A situation that puts most of the young people on the margins of the system, far and away more and more expectations of life and improve their position in relation to the previous generation. We are the first generation living and live in worse conditions than their parents.
As can be seen, the precarious balance now tilts side of unemployment, while in previous years was weighing over temporality. Because unemployment and precariousness are our permanent crisis.
What about other countries? Although the situation is also characterized by high levels of unemployment, the English state takes the cake. Comparing data from Eurostat, for an age range between 15 and 24, the English state is located in first position on the unemployment issue. While Holland and Germany did not exceed 9%, Denmark is in el 16%, Francia y Portugal tienen un 24 y 22 por ciento respectivamente, incluso la recién “rescatada” Irlanda, con un 28%, España alcanza un 43,6%, lo que la sitúa muy por encima de la media UE15 (20,5%).
Para datos de temporalidad, en esta misma franja de edad, nuestro entorno está mucho más cerca a la situación de España (62%). Alemania alcanza el 56,5%, Francia el 57,1%, Italia el 48,3%, o Portugal 54,6%, situándose la media de la UE15 en el 53,4%. Tras esta realidad subyace lo que algunas sociólogas y sociólogos denominan “la crisis del empleo”. Una tendencia generalizada en las economías industrializadas desde lo que characterized the Keynesian pact, stability and security in employment and improvement of rights, to the precariousness of the same, making it the social norm.
What made that Spain is at the head? The situation described in the preceding paragraphs shows that the problem has deep roots, which successive governments in the past three decades have done nothing to face through the neoliberal recipe, cutting entitlements to flexible working class and the labor market. It has deliberately ignored the focus of the problem lies in the productive structure: the sun, sand and brick needs of young working poor and precarious and disqualified disqualified. Add to that an educational model increasingly exclusive, with fewer resources and expertise devalued, the result is a fertile ground for growth and reproduction of insecurity in all its forms and expressions.
The problem of temporality has long distance. The labor reform of 84, open "closed" for temporary hiring, saying the fight against unemployment. Although from 94, when the timing is out of control (about 30%), the following labor reforms intended to limit hiring so warm this time, the result has been zero since temporality rates have remained around 30%, tripling the European rates. The latest labor reform
merely affect this trend, encystment in temporality, cutting workers' rights and workers and, therefore, reproduction of poor working model for youth and for all workers and workers.
And face it, what to do.
Youth has the historic responsibility of being the engine of the struggle, the situation we have described, show a government that have been unable or unwilling to answer the most pressing needs of youth, but instead have chosen to end to dismantle what remained of the "state of Welfare, and submit especially young people, to a precarious living conditions (precarious, UNEMPLOYMENT, inaccessibility to housing, education and other public services privatization phase ...), through the neoliberal reforms living memory.
are many areas in which the Counter-Reformation, and their own capitalist systemic crisis in a very particular concern to youth. The progressive privatization of higher education disguised devoted to the so-called Bologna Process and University Strategy 2015 is another good example.
specific claims as to link the student with the process sustained mobilization of the class against "neoliberal adjustment" is one of the main challenges we have to face anti-capitalist and revolutionary left in general and the student movement in particular, in the coming weeks and months.
In the current political situation and to the position of trade unions in class, and if we increase the degree of social conflict is inevitable struggling sectors add up to a convergent process of the class against the reforms.
This assumes, continue to strengthen our social and political influence particularly between student associations and unions, but also to structure the unemployed and unemployed, and go converging to the sectors involved in the strikes regional / national, sector, and the concrete struggles, as they join in sectors affected by the reforms, the general conflict against the policies of containment of public spending supervised by the most reactionary sectors of the EU .
regard, the roadmap of the communists should be formed at least around these 3 areas:
The identification of the real culprits of the capitalist crisis, increasing our influence and CCOO student movement, and organization of the sustained mobilization process, which includes the call for a new general strike, to connect, network, and backbone of different partial struggles, in a response class on a massive scale, and unitary state.
Nobody has any doubt that in the study centers, young people are gearing up for the organization and the defense in 2011 of their most basic rights.
There is no "lost generation" or Generation "ni-ni", so there is a state that does not guarantee the rights to young people who will not listen and does not provide space for youth involvement, nor the collective, instead enslaves and humiliates in precarious jobs with no rights, and condemns them to apathy and resignation to the impossibility of planning for a vital project.
As our comrade Marcelino Camacho, "... never gave us anything, always had to conquer all." And that, precisely instruct the Communist youth, young women, the young migrants, to conquer t
