| Abstract: |
Data from the Balearic Islands (Spain) on the number of young people dropping out of the education system with no formal qualification and on the general level of education of the young population as a whole indicate that this region is not on a par with most of the other regions in Spain and the European Union as a whole. The regional government commissioned a study of this phenomenon from the University of the Balearic Islands. This article presents the main aspects of the study. It outlines the remit as specified by the regional government, characterises the main issues of the socio-occupational integration of young people in the Balearic Islands, describes the general research approach applied (basic concepts, phases and methodology) and concludes with the study's main results and conclusions. |
