In his latest report, the Regional Committee for European and International Youth Mobility (Coremob) Of the reunion, managed by the rectorate and the Region, draws up a disturbing observation : mobility aids don’t really reach those who need them most.
In an island where a quarter of young people have not yet had the opportunity to take a plane, 55% of aid and measures target students and researchers while 80% of young people would rule out the prospect of leaving the island to train or work. According to the report, 73% of young people experience significant anxiety before going on mobility. To better achieve public objectives, Coremob issues several recommendations. Starting with the reorientation of actions towards young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, without qualifications or with low qualifications. She also formulates an innovative proposal, consisting of supporting internal mobility in Reunion : too many young people are hesitant to accept a job or training outside their micro-region, or even their municipality, due to transport and accommodation difficulties. The establishment on the island of a single referent responsible for the logistics of returning to work for Reunionese returning from mobility is finally proposed. A majority of Reunion Islanders have difficulty finding an activity on the island after a long stay abroad..
