“…The scores range between 0 and 100 (percentage) with a lineal interpretation. In order to achieve this linear sense, following other studies on the construction of indicators [41], we have reconverted to negative values those indicators whose increase represents a negative value on the analyzed sub dimension. In order to ensure the maximum possible reliability in the calculation of the dimensions, several criteria have been established in the selection of the indicator scores that refer to the data extracted from secondary sources and statistics that meet the requirements of:…”

Vulnerability among European Youth: A Proposal for a Multidimensional Approach (2013–2017)

The notion of vulnerability has acquired an important role in social policy debates. Therefore, the identification of vulnerable groups and their conditions is particularly important for the orientation of public policies and risk reduction. This article aims to offer a broad vision of the situation of European youth (15–29) using three dimensions of vulnerability (personal, economic and socio-cultural dimensions). To do so, we developed a multidimensional approach combining a system of indicators (N = 33) to contrast the evolution of the aforementioned dimensions among the European countries. Based on secondary analysis of quantitative data on European member states, we compared the evolution during two moments in time. The first period examined was 2012–2014, after the global financial crises but prior to the implementation of Youth Guarantee, whereas the second was the period which allowed for an examination of the latest updated data available (2017). Our results confirm territorial imbalances that affect the lives of European youth and their future opportunities. Northern countries led this scenario combining an inclusive education system with supportive labor market policies offering more opportunities to overcome risks. Although this multidimensional analysis is exploratory, its findings provide preliminary insight into the configuration of the dimensions of vulnerability in European youth.
