Why are young people sitting around? Unemployed. That is by choice. What are they waiting for? With 40% youth unemployment in Spain, why are youth not being productive? Why does someone need to give them a job to convey value?
Oh...I dunno. Wild ass guess would be there are a TON of government regulations that make doing ANYTHING a dangerous undertaking. I recall reading that a young girl in the US got a ticket for running a lemonade stand in her parents front yard.
That type of thing tends to dampen initiative. (child labor laws too...do they help or hinder in the long run?)
