Laws Concerning Youth in Germany
Laws Concerning Youth in Germany
Germany is one of the countries in Europe where youth empowerment is taken to a high level. Although on a legislative level there are not many; Germany practices countless programs related to youth.
The reason why we did not include everything is:
1. We focused on laws at a federal level only, so we did not review state legislations
2. Germany adopted EU laws, so did not create its own law
3. European Union Programs like Erasmus and Youth on the Move, are a strong part of the German youth empowerment strategy
This is why Germany seems to have so few laws, but the Sozialgesetzbuch (SGB) - Achtes Buch (VIII) is the main source for youth policies.
