Answer:

The central problem is that there are sectors that cannot choose between working or studying, and young employment faces drawbacks. In Germany, there is training for two years in young people so that they can insert themselves more easily and perform in the labor market. In the Netherlands they offer reduced hours for these situations

Step-by-step explanation:

"The Netherlands, also keen on averting a lost generation of workers, is dividing full-time private sector jobs into two or three part-time ones, with government providing supplemental income for part-time workers. When the economy improves, Dutch 20-somethings will be ready with skills and experience"
