Leaving the country to find a job? That might increase young people’s chances of finding a decent job.
In 2023, 83.5% of recent graduates in the EU were employed, marking an increase of 1.1% compared with 2022 (82.4%). Recent graduates are individuals aged 20-34, who completed their studies within the past 1 to 3 years at medium or tertiary education levels.
The overall employment rate of recent graduates was 80% or higher in 22 EU countries. Malta led with 95.8%, followed by the Netherlands (93.2%) and Germany (91.5%).
The lowest employment rates were recorded in Italy (67.5%), Greece (72.3%) and Romania (74.8%).
Have you ever thought about moving to another country for better job opportunities? Or have you already done so?
Even worse, the country is deeply divided. The north has relativly little unemployment, whereas the south is even worse then that. Sicily has an unemployment rate of 42%. That is normal unemplyoment and not youth. Lombardy is at 15.4%. That is not great either, but it is not a total nightmare.
Holy shit, that’s a recipe for disaster
