All young people should have equal opportunities in the context of their personal and professional development, regardless of obstacles, including geographical challenges. These challenges become bigger in times of global crises such as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which bring societal disruptions and economic consequences, and may additionally weaken and isolate young people. 2. The EU Strategic Agenda 2019–2024 (1) recognises that inequalities, which affect young people in particular, pose a major political, social and economic risk; generational, territorial and educational divides are developing and new forms of exclusion emerging. 3. Until recently, almost one third of the EU population lived in a rural territory, including a significant number of young people (2). It is clear that there are differences between Member States in regard to population density and demographic structure, both in rural and remote areas. On the other hand, urbanisation as one of current key drivers of change is regarded as having a significant impact on future EU policies (3). 4. The European Union’s population is ageing. This process is more pronounced in rural and remote areas and, as a consequence, these areas have a higher share of older persons throughout different Member States (4). These intergenerational and geographical imbalances, particularly when combined with poorer socioeconomic conditions, pose challenges to create and maintain comprehensive support services and sustainable service infrastructures responsive to the needs of all, which subsequently may have a long-term effect on social cohesion and solidarity in rural and remote areas. 5. Equality and non-discrimination, inclusion and the participation of young people are among the guiding principles underpinning the EU Youth Strategy 2019–2027, which takes into account the views of young people as expressed in the European Youth Goals and the EU Youth Dialogue process. In particular, European Youth Goal No 6 (Moving Rural Youth Forward) aims at creating conditions which enable young people to access their rights and fulfil their potential in rural areas. (1) Adopted by the European Council on 20 June 2019. (2) According to Eurostat database in 2018, 49,2 % of young people age 15–24 were living in rural areas (EU-28 population by educational attainment level, sex, age and degree of urbanisation (%)).

Environmental and climate issues have been identified by young people as one of the areas that the EU needs to address as a top priority (5). Combating climate change is one of the major factors in the shaping of future policies (6). Since rural development and EU structural funds play an important role in achieving the EU’s environmental objectives as well as in combating climate change, additional opportunities related to sectors such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries or tourism for young people in rural and remote areas should be considered. TAKING INTO ACCOUNT: 7. The opportunities of rural and remote areas (7) such as the proximity to nature, lower housing costs (8) and a higher sense of belonging to a community (9). 8. The constraints imposed by the difficulties of accessibility to and from most rural and remote areas, including some islands (10) throughout the EU as well as the outermost regions of the Union (11) and the Overseas Countries and Territories (12). 9. The process of urbanization and its possible effects on rural and remote areas, especially regarding the population ratio (younger/elderly, women/men (13), young graduates/young non-graduates) and the need to ensure the availability and accessibility of public and commercial services, leisure time activities, quality jobs and education, digital and physical infrastructures, public transportation, housing, social and health care facilities as well as the sustainability of natural resources. 10. The importance to include the ideas, opinions and creativity of young people in the Member States, including those collected during the 7th Cycle of EU Youth Dialogue consultations, as well as contributions during the EU Youth Conference held in Zagreb in March 2020 (14) within the framework of the specific subtheme ‘Opportunities for Rural Youth’. 11. Young people who are NEET (15) in rural and remote areas and the need for particular attention regarding their education, training and employment prospects, as they are at higher risk of having fewer opportunities (16) and be more affected by the conditions of economy (17) as compared to those young people who are NEET in urban regions.
