In many OECD countries youth unemployment rates are predicted to stay high as the haltering recovery remains too weak to provide sufficient job opportunities to the many young jobseekers. They also face large barriers to entering the workplace and as competition for jobs rises as they are increasingly expected to have work experience, even for entry-level positions. Drifting into prolonged unemployment is likely to produce scarring effects and impact on future income levels, skills validity and future employability. With population ageing, countries, regions and communities cannot afford to lose these young people from the labour market.The solution requires new ways of working between all stakeholders in order to optimise all available resources. Work has been carried out by the OECD LEED Programme and the EU URBACT Programme.

Parley
Middle English parlai speech, probably from Middle French parlee, from Medieval Latin parabolare, from Late Latin parabola speech, parable
First Known Use: 1580*
“Parley” is a discussion or conference, especially one between enemies over terms of a truce or points in dispute or other matters; mutual discourse.
The root of the word parley is parler, which is the French verb “to speak”.
Beginning in the High Middle Ages with the expansion of monarchs, a parley, or “talk”, was a meeting held between kings and their Chief Retainers. Parleys were part of the many changes in Europe, especially regarding governments. These meetings can be attributed to the formation of parliaments, which are derived from a similar root, parliamentum, simply meaning “talking”.**
Act V Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare
Drum. Enter BRUTUS, CASSIUS, and their Army; LUCILIUS, TITINIUS, MESSALA, and others
BRUTUS: They stand, and would have parley.
