Reviewed series · Labor · Monthly · % of youth labour force · EUROSTAT.UNEMP.YOUTH.RT.M

Both sexes. Youth rate denominator is the youth labour force, not all young people; total unemployment follows the published TOTAL age selection. Seasonally adjusted, not calendar adjusted. Values retain published units; no scaling, rebasing, interpolation or imputation by SOTW. Dataset updated timestamp is not an original observation release date or publisher vintage. Commercial geography policy reviewed 2026-10-10: EU/EFTA/official candidates only; UK, Kosovo and other noneligible countries excluded; CH/LI declaring-country commodity trade excluded.
