The proportion of young people who do not receive even 1,000 euros shoots up to 45%: "With this, it does not give me for the future"
Youth
unemployment
rose in the
European Union
in 2022 from 14.8% to
15.1%
, which represents an increase of
180,000 new unemployed young people,
of whom
68,000
(38%) are
Spanish
.
This means that four out of ten new young people unemployed in the EU lost their jobs last year in Spain.
According to the data published this Monday by
Eurostat
, unemployment among those
under 25 years of age in Spain
increased last year to
32.3%
at the end of November -the latest data available-, compared to the
31.2%
it had in the same month of the previous year, 1.1 points more.
In total in the country
535,000 young people
do not have a job.
This increase in youth unemployment is striking as it occurred in a year in which
the general unemployment rate fell
from 13.4% to
12.4%,
one point less.
The divergence between the two is due to the fact that unemployment for those
over 25 years of age
has dropped from 12.2% in November 2021 to
10.9%
, with which the problem lies in the maintenance and access to employment of the of less age.
Even so, despite the 2022 correction,
Spain continues to be the EU country with the highest unemployment rate
, since the average for the Eurozone stands at 6.5%.
