Youth unemployment

Youth unemployment is a special case of unemployment; youth, here, meaning those between the ages of 15 and 24.^[1]

Young people have difficulties finding work, consistently different from those of the general workforce. They also are affected in distinct ways. Unemployment rates among them are higher than those of adults almost everywhere,^[2] but differ greatly between countries and regions.^[3]^[4]
