The Socialist Youth Austria (German: Sozialistische Jugend Österreich, SJÖ) is the largest socialist youth organisation in Austria. Founded in 1894 as a club for apprentice protection, it was initially called Association of Young Workers (German: Verein Jugendlicher Arbeiter, VJA).[14] Although not part of the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), there is a close relationship between the two organisations. The SJÖ is actively integrated within the committees of the SPÖ.
The program of the organisation adopted in 2004 is based on scientific socialism[15] and Marxism, which positions it more to the left than the social democratic SPÖ.
The SJÖ is member of the Young European Socialists (YES; formerly ECOSY) and the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY), which has its headquarters in the same building as the SJÖ.
