Due to labor-market regulations that make it difficult for young workers to break into the labor force, Spain has the highest level of youth unemployment (age 15-24) in Europe. The youth unemployment rate peaked in 2013 at 55.7% and has since fallen, but as of 2018 it was still 33.4% (ILO estimates). Based on this information, select whether the following suggested measures would reduce or increase Spanish youth unemployment. a. offer a government subsidy for companies that hire long-term unemployed youth
b. lower the age at which students can enter dedicated skills-training programs
c. enable youth to leave high school at a younger age
d. increase Social Security contributions by companies
e. increase the number of jobs that are covered by fixed-term contracts
f. make it easier for companies to break fixed- term contracts to lay off workers
g. encourage students to stay in the education system longer

Explanation:

a. offer a government subsidy for companies that hire long-term unemployed youth. = Reduce youth unemployment

In this case, since subsidy is given out to companies that employ long term unemployed youth, this will be a source of motivation to the employees which will in turn employ more youths and this reduces youth unemployment.

b. lower the age at which students can enter dedicated skills-training programs. = Reduce youth unemployment

This will also reduce youth unemployment as more students that is, more youths can enter can go into skills training programs which will lead to reduction of youth unemployment.

c. enable youth to leave high school at a younger age. = Increase youth unemployment.

When youths leave school at a younger age, this will mean that more youths would be looking for jobs and this will increase unemployment.

d. increase Social Security contributions by companies. = Increase youth unemployment

A rise in the social security contributions would lead to a rose in the youth unemployment.

e. increase the number of jobs that are covered by fixed-term contracts. = Increase youth unemployment

This will also bring about an increase in youth unemployment.

f. make it easier for companies to break fixed- term contracts to lay off workers. = Reduce youth unemployment

When companies find it easier to break fixed term contracts to lay off workers, this implies that the old workers in the organization would leave the organizations and more youths can be employed. This help in the reduction of youth unemployment.

g. encourage students to stay in the education system longer. = Reduce youth unemployment.

When students are encouraged to stay in the education system longer, thus helps to reduce youth unemployment.
