TW2.1.01 (Tower Two)
This panel explores policy-makers’ stances on policies to support youth transitions to economic independence and to self-employment. We invite contributions examining programmatic documents (such as election manifestos or coalition agreements) and speeches delivered by policy-makers in parliaments. We aim to understand to what extent policy-makers’ stances on these topics have changed over time in terms of attention to these issues (salience) and their concrete positions (valence). We hope to identify differences across political parties or coalitions, and the effects of different levels of government (European, federal, regional, local).
