Youth unemployment refers to unemployment in young people, usually defined as those aged 15 - 24.[1]

Youth unemployment is different from that of the general workforce in that youth unemployment rates are consistently higher than those of adults worldwide, with the European Commission reporting that, from 2014 - 2024, the EU youth unemployment rate has remained approximately twice as high as the general unemployment rate.[2]
