Belgium “could do better” on school-to-work transition, says the OECD

According to a new report by the OECD, Belgium should do more to help young people get their working life off to a good start. The unemployment rate for 15 to 24 year olds was about 20 per cent in  2005, i.e. almost identical to 10 years ago and around seven percentage points higher than the OECD average.
