The given bar chart delineates the figures for individuals in the age bracket of 15-24 in five distinct European countries and their overall unemployment rate in the year 2005.
Overall, it is discernible that all five studied countries witnessed their youth unemployment considerably higher than their overall joblessness. It is also clear that Poland ranked first in both categories surveyed, while Denmark came last.
A closer look at the percentage of 15-24-year-old citizens who are unemployed reveals that Poland accounted for the largest number, with more than 35%, roughly doubling that of Hungary. The proportion of Italians who are unemployed occupied under 25%, while a lesser extent was seen in Germany, at nearly 15%, making it the second lowest figure in the unemployment rate surveyed. However, Denmark witnessed the lowest joblessness rate, just over 5%.
Turning to the overall unemployment, Poland still remained the first position, with exactly 15%, while that of Germany was two thirds of this number. Concurrently, Italy and Hungary shared roughly similar numbers, with around 7% and 6% respectively. Finally, only about 3% of people who were unemployed in Denmark.
