The dire situation of unemployed youth between 16-25 requires specific and effective policies from public administrations. This paper analyses: a) whether the implementation in Catalonia of the Council Recommendation on the establishment of a Youth Guarantee under the framework of the Spanish National Youth Guarantee Implementation Plan entails a recentralisation of powers in favour of the State with the creation of a “single” reference file, registration to which is the “one doorway” to the Youth Guarantee System; and b) whether measures adopted by the Government of Catalonia under the Basis for a Youth Employment Strategy in Catalonia, Youth Guarantee 2014-202, respond to a specific and differentiated State model according to the current statutory framework.
