Thousands of jobs have been created. Nevertheless, youth unemployment
remains a problem. The unemployment rate among young
people is three times the average of the
economically active population.

42.8% of unemployed youths come from the poorest 20% of households.
The unemployment rate is higher among young women (30.1%) than among young men (21.3%).
Young people do not spend more time looking for work and adults, but they switch more dynamically between periods of employment and unemployment and report higher levels of job precariousness.

Some characteristics

More than 70% of young jobseekers have worked previously.
62.2% of young people aged between 18 and 24 have held precarious or unregistered jobs.
Almost 40% of unemployed youths have either not begun or not completed their secondary education. They therefore lack the skills necessary for securing decent jobs.
