Percentage of young people without jobs or training in Germany rises

According to the Federal Statistical Office, the proportion of adolescents and young adults who are neither in training nor employed has increased in recent years. Young people aged 20 to 24 are particularly affected.

Reports from tagesschau.de indicate that about one in ten young people in this age group is without a job or a training place. This trend has been measurable for years, showing a continuous rise.

Although the percentage of unemployed young people in Germany is increasing, it remains below the average for the European Union. This suggests that the situation in Germany is assessed differently in the European context.
