Youth long-term unemployment is one of the key problems that must be addressed not only in Latvia but also at the European Union level. In 2030, according to a research under the ESPON 2013 Programme, Latvia is positioned as a “depressive” region with an insufficient population of young people. Consequently, Latvia as a country with a friendly environment for business development will not be competitive in relation to other European countries and the flow of investment will be at risk as well as passed on other regions which are more competitive and more developed. The research aims to establish the view of employers on young people’s integration into the labour market. This research is based on scientific discussion of different author opinions and research results of expert interviews as well as on views on the future vision by industry experts. The results of analysis show that it is difficult to find a job in rural districts. The young people without any experience in the relevant field and without higher or professional education and motivation to study and acquire the necessary skills are negatively evaluated.
