Major challenges
•
•
•
•
•
11.000 young people (between 18-29 years of age) recieve cash benefits and
unemployment benefits – the goal is to minimise this flow by eg. introducing
younger people (13-18 years) to labour market at an early stage)
80 % af all young people in Copenhagen gets an upper secondary education – the
goal is 95 %
¼ of all students experience a challenge when it comes to facing educational
demands (due to an enstranged educational family background) – the goal is to
support this group of young students through network and part time work
An increasing number of young people with mental issues – the goal is to include
this group through introduction to labour market at an early stage using
socioeconomic action/ coorporations
1/3 of the residents in the segregated areas are children under 18 years of age

A bit of history
•2008: The segregated areas in Copenhagen are
dominated by trouble mainly caused by young
people from within the areas
•2008: Mayor of Employment and Integration wants
to address the issue – how can the Job Centre be
part of a positive solution?
•2008-2009: The Job Centre Copenhagen engages
in positive activities that include young people from
14-18 years of age by introducing them to the labour
market though after school activities (fritidsjob).
