 ERNST & YOUNG /ANDERSEN GERMANY [2002] ECComm 52 (27 August 2002)
The assessment of whether or not Ernst and Young is to be regarded as a single economic entity has to be made in the special and specific context of the audit and accounting market where there is an inherent economic incentive for member firms of the networks to act as a single economic entity.
They lead to the conclusion that Ernst and Young is to be considered as a single economic entity for the purposes of the Merger Regulation, irrespective in which structure this is assessed, and that Ernst and Young as a whole is one of the parties to the present transaction.
Ernst and Young and Luther Menold are therefore considered to be a single economic entity for the purposes of the Merger Regulation.

Young adults with vocational training have a distinctly lower probability of being unemployed representing 25.2% of the unemployed and 59.5% of the labour force.
Germany's emphasis on vocational training in the education system is reinforced by government policies designed to help disadvantaged young people succeed through one of the streams of the education system.
Young people's easy transition from school to work is not independent of other policies implemented on the labour market, in particular early retirement schemes and older generations seem ready to leave the labour market so that the young generation has access to jobs (see Gross, 1998).

 Germany not Ready for Democracy by Gareth Jones, 1933
Moreover, the German democracy of 1918-1933 was, in the eyes of young Germany, a régime of old men.
Young Germans not only felt themselves enslaved by their system at home, but also longed to break the shackles of the Treaty of Versailles.
The War Guilt Clause, the sending of fl troops into the Rhineland by the, French, the refusal to admit Germany into the League of Nations until 1926, the inferiority in armaments, the need to pay £100,000,000 a year in reparations-all these made the forces mount up which were to break out in revolution in 1933.

The problems of these middle-class young people are not the most serious in Germany — one wonders how precarious the economic lives can be of those who can protest with such flair and so little ultimate purpose.
Members of Germany's native and immigrant underclass face a much more dire economic landscape, and, unlike the young middle class, they can't turn to their parents to bail them out.

 Articles by Frederick Engels in The Northern Star
Young Germany had existed in Switzerland since 1831, when, in consequence of the many insurrections in Germany, great numbers of young men, students, workmen, andc.; were obliged to leave their country.
Soon afterwards, however, the Communist clubs commenced to form themselves in the old home of Young Germany, on the shores of the Leman Lake, and to commence an animated debate with that merely political association.
This debate ended in a settled quarrel, and decided enmity of the two parties; the main result, however, was, that Young Germany was obliged to extend its field of action, and not only to better define their political principles, as those of Radical, Republic, and Democratic, but also to take up social questions.

Similar factors were cited by Germany's political establishment to explain the nearly 13 percent of the vote won by the anti-foreigner German People's Union last month in Saxony-Anhalt state elections.

ROSTOCK, Germany — For many well-educated young eastern Germans like Susanne Kophal — born, raised and educated in this picturesque city on the Baltic Sea — there is a familiar story about the moment in their post-graduation lives that they decided to leave.

After reunification the hope in Germany's government was that a huge infusion of cash and subsidies would create the "blooming landscape" famously envisioned by Helmut Kohl, the conservative chancellor who presided over the integration of the 15.3 million people then living in East Germany.
