🔍 Comparative Analysis of the Alignment of Existing Youth Policies with the Needs of Young People from Single-Parent and One-Parent Families in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia
As part of the RYDE Project and with the support of the Active Achievements Fund for Regional Groups, Youth of Diverse Families (COFACE member) together with a group of fellow students and human rights activists from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia, formed a youth research team and conducted a comparative study exploring legal frameworks and public policies concerning single parents and one-parent families in these three countries.
The research was based on data collected from primary sources and official legal documents, including family laws, social protection regulations, youth policies, national strategies, and other relevant materials.
The report includes:
- a detailed country-by-country analysis,
- a comparative overview of the similarities and differences,
- and a series of findings highlighting both progress made and areas in need of improvement across the region.
The key takeaway is that while each country has its strengths, there are still significant gaps in legislation and youth policies when it comes to addressing the realities and needs of young people from single-parent families.
The full report is available online in Macedonian, Serbian, and English.
