ANNEX B. The ECRIS analysis results for the youth inclusion study In accordance with planning the study, the launch workshop was organised around the ECRIS framework 2. It took place over 5 days, from 30 September to 4 October 2019, at LASDEL. This report is an account of the workshop and the investigations’ results. It is structured in three parts: (1) a brief presentation on the ECRIS framework methodology; (2) the main results of the investigations; (3) avenues for more in-depth investigations. 1. ECRIS framework methodology 1.1. ECRIS theoretical framework The goal of the ECRIS theoretical framework was to bring participants to take ownership of the research problem and of the methodology developed to implement it. More specifically, it enabled the research to be presented in its entirety (Aïssa Diarra, LASDEL) and the multidimensional contours of youth employment to be retraced from previous field experiences (Lucia da Corta, ODI). The discussions following these presentations highlighted several points allowing us to clarify certain concepts as well as expand the perspectives around the problem of youth employment and youth social inclusion: 1) the definition of concepts, notably that of “young person”; 2) updating statistical data and the applicable regulations in the sectors related to youth employment; 3) taking into account the variety of young people’s situations (urban vs rural environments, unsafe area, etc.); 4) new forms of self-employment; the influence of the environment on access to employment, etc. 1.2. ECRIS practical framework Two activities were carried out before the investigations themselves: preparing the ECRIS framework, and identifying the qualitative indicators and strategic groups. Preparing the investigations involved two senior researchers (A. Diarra and T. Ali Bako) assisted by two junior researchers (L. Coulibaly and S. Oumarou). Several meetings were held to pre-target sites, based on population on the one hand, among public and private organisations on the other, as well as formal and informal workspaces. This pre-targeting of sites resulted in a provisional list of key stakeholders.
