WHAT IS YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT?
HOW DO WE MEASURE IT? • Youth Unemployment Rate • Youth Unemployment Ratio

REASONS BEHIND HIGH YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT RATES Young people: • are among most vulnerable during an economic downturn when workers are being laid off. • have the least work experience. • have the least amount of company training invested in them. • are more likely to have short term contracts. • have less experience in looking for work, whatever the state of the economy is. • have a stronger financial attachment to family, tend to be less mobile.
