| The AQua - project deals with job-oriented actions for young unemployed or job-seeking migrants. To keep the field of research clear and to allow a comparable analysis, we focused on young people with migrant background who start to enter the labour market at the age between18-25 years. It is assumed, that this group is most affected by unemployment, whereas one important point is the transition from education to the entering into the labour marketAlthough most member states of the EU have initiated special programs targeting various vulnerable groups on the labour market, countermeasures mostly do not aim at the group of young people with migrant background. This is also due to a lack of comparable data and a lack of knowledge about the situation of migrants and especially about educational or labour market oriented policies for this target group in the European context and the missing of a common definition of the at-risk group.
One of the aims of the AQua - project was to identify existing educational and labour market oriented practices. Different migration traditions reflect the actions taken for young migrants in the field of education and employment in the different Aqua Partner countries. In order to be able to compare the selected measures, each AQua - project partner came up with a definition of their country relevant target groups. The more detailed as the following definitions of the country specific target groups will be found in the final country reports.
