This final report from the symposium on shut out youth concentrates on the problems of homeless young people in European cities. Remarks and recommendations of the symposium are reviewed. Homelessness is a growing trend among young people in Europe and most governments show little recognition of the problem. There is little social policy and legislation that considers the social, housing, and employment needs of youth. The same patterns and lack of concern are seen as homelessness among North American youth is reviewed. The following issues are discussed as prime areas of social policy where these problems may be addressed: (1) human rights; (2) legal status of youth; (3) youth policy; (4) youth participation; (5) education; (6) employment and income; (7) housing; (8) social support for families; and (9) children of the state. Specific recommendations are made for national, regional, and local governments, and for the Council of Europe. The appendices include notes from the workshop groups, the conference agenda, a list of participants, a history of the European Young Homelessness Group, a bibliography of publications and agencies, a list of videos shown during the symposium, and a supplementary list of useful addreses.
