The chart depicts the unemployment rates of young individuals aged 15-24 as well as the entire workforce in five European countries in 2005.
In general, what stands out from the chart is that the youth unemployment rates were always higher than those of the overall. Besides, Poland ranked first in both the categories, while Denmark came last.
Turning to the three nations with the highest proportion in the chart, Poland has the rates of jobless young people of around 35%, followed by Italy with nearly 15% lower. Poland was also recorded as the country with the biggest gap between the young and overall unemployment percentages, about 20%. Meanwhile, the national jobless rate of Italy and Hungary was the same (7%), however, the number of unemployed young individuals in Hungary was much lower, occupying only 15% of the total.
For the remaining two countries, the lowest countrywide unemployment percentage was found to be 2.5% in Denmark, which was four times smaller than Germany’s 10% regarding the mentioned rates. Additionally, the youth jobless rate of Denmark was 7%, which was only half of that in Germany.
