The situation among the EU countries varied a lot. The share of unemployed young people in the total population was below 4 per cent with Czechia at 2.0 per cent, Germany and Bulgaria—both at 3.3 per cent, as well as in Hungary and Poland—both at 3.5 per cent. Conversely, this share was above 8 per cent with Spain at 11.2 per cent, Greece at 10.6 per cent, Sweden at 10.3 per cent, and Cyprus at 8.8 per cent, Eurostat said in a press release.
Compared with 2021, the share of unemployed young people in the total population decreased in most EU countries. Exceptions were Cyprus, Latvia—both at 0.1 percentage points (pp), Romania at 0.3 pp, and Estonia at 0.4 pp, where this share slightly increased.
