The given graph compares the proportion of jobless individuals in the age group of 15-24 years old and the general unemployment rate in five European countries in the year 2005.
Overall, while Poland experienced the most pronounced level of unemployment, the opposite case was true for Denmark. Additionally, the percentage of unemployed people aged 15-24 was higher than the overall unemployment rate in all countries listed.
In terms of the 15-24 age group, 37% of Polish were unemployed, followed by Italian, at 27%. There was a negligible difference in the figures for Hungary and Germany, with the former hovering around 24%, and the latter clustering between 23%. In contrast, Denmark’s statistics occupied the lowest percentage, at about 13%.
Regarding overall unemployment, it was the most serious in Poland, with slightly over a quarter of its labor force being out of work, compared to exactly one-fifth in Germany. While Denmark remained the lowest at just under 10%, Italy and Hungary exhibited a close similarity in overall joblessness levels, at 15% and roughly 13%, respectively.
