This article presents a critical assessment of the
application of the Youth Guarantee programme, oriented
toward young people under the age of 30, in Spain from
2013 to 2018. It analyses the effectiveness of programme
enrolment and coverage of young people classified as
“NEETs” (not in employment, education or training), the
adaptation of the catalogue of proposed measures to
young people’s reality, and whether or not these measures
have addressed different intersections, such as gender,
social class and origin, as indispensable elements for
integration into society that make it possible to shape
young people’s experiences. Finally, through the 2017
Continuous Sample of Working Lives, which provides a
representative extract of anonymised individual data
through the non-parametric bootstrap sampling
technique, this article will analyse the level of youth
employment precarity by gender, educational attainment,
and province. Overall, the conclusion is that the Youth
Guarantee has not succeeded in changing the precarious
position of young people.
