While the Youth Guarantee is an EU-wide commitment, the YEI is targeted on only those Member States and regions where youth unemployment rates are worst, with eventually 20 Member States concerned, partially or totally.
Medtem ko je jamstvo za mlade zaveza celotne EU, je pobuda za zaposlovanje mladih namenjena samo tistim državam članicam in regijam, ki se spopadajo z višjimi stopnjami brezposelnosti mladih, kar delno ali v celoti vključuje več kot 20 držav članic.
