5. Discussion and conclusions
The youth living in the Eurozone countries are sensible about the importance of being updated on IT knowledge because the means comparison results indicate that there are no differences between formal learning and other ways of training; nevertheless, there is statistic significant difference on the item “Individuals who have obtained IT skills through training courses and adult education centers, on own initiative”, that is to say, that for the same level of knowledge, they are attending more courses by their own initiative. The means are 6.526 and 3.444, respectively, which indicate that youth in the Eurozone are more aware on the necessity of training, as they are demanding these training courses on their own initiative. The answer to RQ1, taking into account the tested hypotheses, is shown in Table VII. The results indicate that there is an essential difference between the Eurozone and the other EU countries (tested on H1.5). We conclude that five of the six tested hypotheses are rejected; that is to say, H1.6, is the only accepted hypothesis. The one that focuses on awareness of the importance of ICTs skills, and it has been proven in literature (López-Arranz, 2017) to be a key factor for employability in the context of new workplaces arising in the smart cities. About RQ2 (RQ2), the SEM proved that the computer skills is a relevant factor to explain youth employability in the European Union and that H2.1 should be rejected.
