• 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%.
