EU-related topics

Labour market integration of young people in the EU As a young EU citizen and soon-to-be university graduate I’m personally very interested in the development of the European job market and what is going to expect me once I’ve graduated. I want to discuss the opportunities of young EU members for working abroad, where they can seek adequate assistance, help and information on finding the perfect workplace. 

Suicide rates amony young adults in the EU I've recently read an article saying that some EU countries are facing alarmingly high suicide rates among young men and women, which was rather shocking to me. I really consider choosing this topic because I want to know more about why people in some EU countries are more likely to attempt and commit suicide than in others? What are their motives and what drives such young people into this? What does the current economic situation within the EU have to do with it, what has already been and what will be done to prevent this figure from rising?

Comparison of the employment law for non-EU nationals, as well as refugees and asylum seekers in Austria (and another EU member state) Why foreigners are allowed to stay in our country but not permitted to work? I could imagine writing about this topic mainly because I have Serbo-Croatian relatives who have been living in our country for years but are still facing problems when it comes to work and work permit.  

Drug policy development in the European Union and in particular the Netherlands Drugs are a severe social health problem which affects millions of people within the EU. I would like to find out more about about this topic, including who or which organ is in charge of the drug control in the EU and why is the consumption of certain substances allowed in countries and prohibited in so many others.

The legality of euthanasia in the European Union I want to focus on following questions: Should it be allowed or prohibited throughout the Union? In which EU member states is euthanasia regulated in the national law? I’ve chosen this topic because I’m currently doing an additional training in spiritual care to become a volunteer in a hospice. I’ve always been interested in voluntary work and wanted to do something for people who are not as blessed as I am, to give them some strength and hope in their darkest times.  The sensitive topic of euthanasia and palliative care has been part of our training and that was basically why I chose this as a potential topic.
