ENLithuania is the largest Baltic country, neighbouring Latvia in the north, Poland in the west and Belarus in the east. The population is 2.8 million. The majority (86.4%) are Lithuanians. Like all developed countries, Lithuania is suffering from population ageing; the share of youth (15-19 years) in the total population is 0.137 million compared to 0.552 million of the age group 65+ (Statistics Lithuania, 2019). Lithuania is a parliamentary democracy governed by coalition governments. Lithuania, as other Baltic countries, was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940-1990. After independence in 1990, Lithuania became a member of the EU, NATO, and OECD. Keywords: education policy; youth transition; unemployment protection; public health care.
