The pictorial shows information about the distribution of jobless individuals in the age groups of 15 to 24 and the overall figures in five European nations in 2005.
Overall, it is noticeable that all countries witnessed a similar trend, where the unemployment rate of 15 to 24-year-old people was higher compared to that of the total population. Additionally, while Poland’s figures in both sections surpassed any country surveyed, those of Denmark were the lowest.
In particular, in terms of the 15-24 age bracket, Poland’s quantity of unemployed individuals accounted for more than 35% of the overall number, which was the highest among the five nations, followed by Italy with approximately 23%. Germany’s unemployment rate in this age group was merely 15% percent, which was double that in Denmark – the country with the lowest rate of unemployment among 15 to 24-year-olds.
Regarding joblessness figures in total, a similar pattern was repeated for Poland with 15%, which was 5% more than the nation coming second – Germany. Despite its excessive rate of unemployment in the 15-24 age bracket, Italy’s overall number was less than 10%. The two remaining countries had the lowest overall unemployment figures, with 7% for Hungary and 3% for Denmark.
