About

Unemployment rate statistics for youth aged 15 to 24 are presented in this collection. The figures align with the definition established by the OECD, identifying unemployed persons as those above a specified age who are currently available for work but are not engaged in paid or self-employment. The measurement is expressed as the unemployment rate, which calculates the number of jobless individuals as a percentage of the overall labour force. This data provides important insights into global economic health and labour trends affecting younger demographics.
