EU Youth in Action programme monitoring survey

95% of young people taking part in projects supported by the European Union's Youth in Action programme improved their language skills and 66% believe that the experience also increased their chances of finding a job, according to a recent survey conducted by the European Commission. Moreover, 60% voted in the 2009 European Parliament elections, compared to an average of 29% among young Europeans. These are the main results of a survey among 4,550 young people, youth workers and youth organisations performed at the beginning of 2010.

The survey shows that the EU funding of youth projects has a positive impact on participants. The survey was carried out in all Member States and focused on participants in transnational projects.
