Meanwhile, if a society cannot offer opportunities to the teenage’s, it would also lead to a unesserary surplus of human resource, which could have a bad effect on economy construction and social development. In Spain, teenagers who passively look for a job or quit a job whether voluntaryly or not, are called by a byword "ni estudiar y ni trabajar", which means a person who neither attends to school education nor has a regular job, even nor accepts any before-career-training, and needs to rely on his/her parents for living. As one of the members of EU, unemployment problem not only occurs in Spain but also in other EU member countries. In order to resolve the current unemployment situation, Spain accepted the employment resolution offered by EU, whose instruction regulars would change its domestic employment policy and adjust its original principle; besides, Spain also obeyed the co-policy regulated by EU in a certain level. In Spain, the development of social welfare security system has always been a key point discussed in public policy agenda. However, to Spain, an aggressive labor force market will be an advantage to the policy which changes from passive unemployment rescue to aggressively offering employment resolution program. The policy closer connects unemployment insurance system with before-job-training together, and gradually transfers welfare-providing to job-providing, which makes teenagers quickly re-enter job market and helps them free from social exclusion. By taking Spain, whose unemployment rate has long been a problem, as an example, we can clearly discuss the probable aspects that cause the unemployment problem. Moreover, it’s also worth observing that how Spain governments improve current unemployment circumstances and how they effectively solve the embarrassing situation. After all, whether a country has a prosperous economy closely depends on whether it has a stable employment environment.
