CORE: Agricultural and rural youth employment and life-projects in the EU

The conditions of daily life in rural regions are rather unfavourable, due to limited economic productivity, poor career prospects and worsening infrastructure provision (e.g., public services). This has led to an
increasing number of rural inhabitants leaving the countryside. In particular, young, well-educated individuals have turned their backs on rural regions. The consequence is a shortage of labour and skilled workers, which further deteriorates the economic prospects of these areas. The CORE project aims to strengthen the alliances between rural and farmers’ youth organisations through collaboration in research, sharing good practices, and social dialogues.
