The Covid-19 pandemic has affected every realm of young people’s lives. This study examined its impact since early 2020 on young people and the youth sector in South-East Europe (SEE) region, with a special focus on non-EU countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Türkiye. The review focuses on the pandemic’s impact on youth employment and young people’s economic situation, (formal and non-formal) education and mental health and well-being. Other aspects of young people’s lives, such as participation and digitalisation, were also considered when relevant to the analysis, but they were not the focus of the study.
