It represents the specific allocation to the Youth Employment Initiative under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in regions with a level of youth unemployment exceeding 25 % in 2012 or for Member States where the youth unemployment rate has increased by more than 30 % in 2012, regions that have a youth unemployment rate of more than 20 % in 2012 (eligible regions). The additional EUR 3000000000 allocated to this line for the 2014-2020 period is intended to provide match funding to ESF interventions in the eligible regions. This appropriation is intended to finance the creation of decent jobs. While promoting gender equality, special attention should be paid to the situation of young women who can face gender-specific obstacles to get a good quality offer of employment, continued education, an apprenticeship or a traineeship. This appropriation is to be used, amongst others, to support the establishment of educational structures combining non-formal education, language courses, democratic awareness and vocational training in the regions most affected by youth unemployment, both by state-actors and non-governmental organisations. The margins available below the multiannual financial framework (MFF) ceilings for commitment appropriations for 2014-2017 will constitute a global MFF margin for commitments, to be made available over and above the ceilings established in the MFF for 2016-2020 for policy objectives related to growth and employment, in particular youth employment, as established in Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 of 2 December 2013 laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2014-2020 (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 884).
