If the economic and political situation is not reversed, our youth will be forced to live in social exclusion. And what society can we create, the most important part of it, the youth responsible for building the future, if it's socially marginalized? The situation is indeed serious and worrying. The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has reminded us of the seriousness of the situation, putting statistical data on the table.

According to a report by this body, half of the young people between the ages of 16 and 29 in the Spanish State – referred to as Hego Euskal Herria- have no capacity to use their computers to work. Spain occupies the penultimate position – just ahead of Italy – in which Korea is the champion. In the 34 most developed countries in the world that make up the OECD, there are 35 million young people who do not study or work. That means that they are not prepared to participate in the educational system, in society or in the working world of those countries. How are you going to learn IT applied to the workplace if you don't have a job? And what's worse, if you have no hope of it being?

The main instrument of social inclusion in the current system is work, which has been related to the insertion of personal development into the labour market. Thus, lack of work leads our young people to civil death. Social exclusion has many consequences: crime, drugs, suicides and the creation of a sick society that triggers and kills its young people.

The responsibility of governments is fundamental – whether in Madrid, Vitoria or Pamplona – as well as of political, economic and social actors. The bloodshed of youth unemployment must be stopped and more efforts must be made to create decent jobs. On the other hand, we need an educational system and social policies that take account of our industrial fabric: we must, yes or no, commit ourselves to vocational training.
