A great number of young people do not even apply to the Employment Bureau because they do not believe they will get a job in such a way. Every second person does not succeed in getting employed by the Bureau. Most employers have need of employees with at least three years of previous work experience and this is a serious problem for the young who have just graduated form many faculties. The graduates in Serbia are revolted at the fact that their studies do not provide them with any practice. Consequently, they volunteer even for half a year and when they finish their voluntary work they do not recieve any evidence for the experience. Conversely, voluntary work is registered in the employment record in the countries of Western Europe.

The number of the young up to 25 on the labour market is very low, about 37,4 %, while it is about 10 % higher in the European Union countries. Frequently, the reason for such statistics is the duration of studies, which takes even more than seven years. Certificates of non-formal education, that is, various courses and seminars are not accepted. In contrast, these courses are very expensive, and, undeniably, necessary for a young peron's education and further development.

Currently, the undertaken high education reforms are not equal at all universities. Some universities have successfully and fully executed the reforms, while others have not even started. The present organization of some universities as weak legal autonomous faculties is very much inherited from the past and is proving to be very resistant to any change. Their lack of knowledge about the system, lack of vision and of basic analytical skills of the policy makers makes things even worse.
