Spain Approves 2nd Youth Action Plan: Nearly 60 Billion Euros and More Than 300 Measures
The Council of Ministers approved the 2nd Youth Action Plan on October 13, the roadmap of the Youth Strategy 2030 for the coming three years. The plan sets ten new objectives and adds 110 measures to those previously in force, with an investment approaching 60 billion euros, an increase of 79% on the previous plan, according to Youth and Childhood Minister Sira Rego.
The plan deploys 12 strategic axes and more than 300 measures covering education, employment, health, equality and participation, and incorporates youth demands that reach beyond the plan's own deadline, looking to 2030. Among them is the commitment that 30% of new residential development be reserved for protected rental housing at affordable prices.
Rego said the plan was drawn up through a participatory process begun in 2024 with more than 70 youth organisations and 15 ministries, and that the government will publish its execution regularly for transparency.
The plan runs until 2028, in coordination with Spain's autonomous communities, which manage much of youth policy. (Source: Ministry of Youth and Childhood, Spain)
