Challenge
The challenge posed is titled: How could we collect and communicate actionable information about the needs and situation of young people in Biscay?
Context
The Youth Area is part of the General Directorate of Social Cohesion of the Department of Employment, Social Cohesion and Equality of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia. Among its functions is to watch over the needs of the youth diversity in Biscay.
Currently, the Youth Area collects both quantitative and qualitative information from various third party information sources in order to prepare reports and to know the situation of young people in Biscay. All this data collection process as well as the analysis of such information, is carried out manually.
In addition, the qualitative information collected by the Youth Area does not reflect the needs of the different profiles which make up the youth of Biscay (migrants, people with different sexual orientations, with functional diversity, diversity in terms of educational or socio-economic level...).
As it is a cross-cutting issue, in order for the Youth Area to have an impact on young people, collaboration with other areas is needed. That is why they prepare reports such as the Youth Diagnosis, a very valuable tool to inform the rest of the General Directorates about the situation of young people in Bizkaia. However, they do not have standardized processes that allow them to analyze the data to draw conclusions and actionable information.
