For example, Spain s 48.9 youth unemployment rate implies significantly worse conditions for young people than its 19 youth unemployment ratio.

Greece s youth unemployment rate now exceeds 60 , and Spain s is above 50 .

Germany s unemployment rate this past summer was around 5.5 , and its youth unemployment rate was around 8 remarkably low compared with many other high income economies.

Labor market experts thus consider the unemployment rate a potentially misleading indicator, because a youth unemployment rate of 50 does not mean that half of the young population is unemployed. That is why one should look at the unemployment ratio the percentage of the unemployed in the reference population rather than at the unemployment rate.

The youth unemployment rate in Greece does not mean that close to two thirds of young Greeks are unemployed.

The statistics say that 80 of Gaza s population is dependent on UN food aid. The youth unemployment rate is 65 .

Europe s Youth Unemployment Non Problem

The Mirage of Youth Unemployment

To be sure, a youth unemployment ratio of 13 or 19 is not grounds for complacency. But, while the eurozone s youth unemployment rate has increased since 2009, its ratio has remained the same (though both significantly exceed pre 2008 levels).

Unemployment rate was 10 .

Moreover, one must ask how much youth unemployment contributes to total unemployment.

Among those in the 20 24 age group, the difference between the reported unemployment rate and the percentage of youth without a job and looking for one (the unemployment ratio) is less stark. But, even among this age group, one finds that the unemployment ratio is often about one half of the widely reported unemployment rate.

In calculating youth unemployment, therefore, the same number of unemployed individuals is divided by a much smaller number, to reflect the smaller labor force, which makes the unemployment rate look a lot higher.

But, while the eurozone s youth unemployment rate has increased since 2009, its ratio has remained the same (though both significantly exceed pre 2008 levels).

Demonstrators are expressing their anger with the Palestinian Authority, with the high cost of living, and the high rate of unemployment among Palestinian youth.

And unemployment hovers above 10 , with youth unemployment far higher, at roughly 25 .

If the economy is at potential, the unemployment rate equals the NAIRU or the natural rate of unemployment.

Indeed, this indicator paints a somewhat less alarming picture than that created by the headline youth unemployment rate of more than 50 in Spain, or even the 62.5 rate recently reached in Greece.

Youth unemployment remains one of our greatest challenges.

The result is a growing youth unemployment crisis among poor and working class youth.

The high unemployment rate among women was a reflection of Latvia's overall unemployment rate, which stood at 10.6 per cent.

Moreover, unemployment in the eurozone has skyrocketed to an average rate of roughly 12 , with more than 50 youth unemployment in the periphery countries implying a long term loss of talent and erosion of the tax base.

In Spain and Greece, unemployment is approaching 30 , while youth unemployment is nearing a staggering 60 .

The unemployment rate was 11.3 in 2006.

The current system underpins Spain s soaring unemployment rate.

In October 2011, unemployment rate stood at 17.4 .

In 2001 and 2002 the unemployment rate dropped.

So the perverse result of this way of counting the unemployed is that the more young people who pursue additional education or training, the higher the youth unemployment rate rises.

Unemployment rates for females are higher than those for males, and youth unemployment is greater than that of adults.

As of 2007, the city's unemployment rate is 9.4 .

UN Habitat programmes with those partners will concentrate on addressing youth unemployment and youth at risk in urban areas.

Meanwhile, official data from Spain indicate that the jobless rate rose to 26 (almost six million people) in the last three months of 2012, the highest figure since the mid 1970 s, with the rate of youth unemployment reaching 55 .

During the 2006 French student protests, France s 22 youth unemployment rate appeared to compare unfavorably to rates of 11 , 12 , and 13 in the United Kingdom, the US, and Germany, respectively.

Women have a slightly higher unemployment rate (7.4 ) than men.

Only thanks to stubbornly persistent inflation has Italy s nominal GDP managed to remain constant. Overall unemployment has climbed to 12 , while the rate for youth not attending school has soared to 44 .

In this sense, Italy represents an extreme case, since even highly skilled young workers, though usually over the age threshold of the youth unemployment rate (29.5 in the country), are being marginalized.

His Government, for example, concerned at the growing youth unemployment rate, was implementing programmes to provide high quality jobs to help young people develop skills and acquire experiences that would benefit others.

Sixteen years after the crisis, the unemployment rate was 6.2 more than triple the rate in 1990.

Using RMB appreciation as the primary tool to fight inflation implies accepting a temporarily higher unemployment rate now in exchange for a permanently lower unemployment rate in the future.

Unemployment, moreover, is rising at its fastest rate in seven years.

At the start of 1996, the US unemployment rate was 5.6 .

The unemployment rate, according to government statistics, was 1.5 in 2005.
