Youth employment

The world, including in Europe, is facing a worsening youth employment crisis: young people are three times more likely to be unemployed than adults and almost 73 million youth worldwide are looking for work. The ILO has warned of a 'scarred' generation of young workers facing a dangerous mix of high unemployment, increased inactivity and precarious work in developed countries, as well as persistently high working poverty in the developing world.

This 'Key source' record in ESO brings together many other information sources on the subject of youth unemployment in Europe.
