Unemployment in EU going down among all age groups except young people

Summary: Unemployment Trends in the EU – A Global Perspective

Over the past decade, the European Union’s (EU) widespread employing of job creation and support measures has yielded significant progress in reducing unemployment. According to the latest Eurostat data compiled in May 2025, the EU worldwide experiences a long-term unemployment rate of 1.9%, marking a marked improvement from its highest reported levels during the 2010s. This, however, includes notable drops in unemployment rates among certain nations, such as the Netherlands at 0.5%, Malta at 0.7%, and other EU countries at 0.8%, reflecting the collective efforts to combat economicẳng sedimentation.

The data underscores that the youngest generation averages a long-term unemployment rate of 4.4%, while the middle-aged population shares roughly the same level of unemployment at 6.2%. Notably, the elderly labs, who constitute an oldest population at 73% of the workforce**, experience the densest unemployment rates—5.4%—among European EU nations. These rates highlight the persistent challenge on both sides of the lifecycle in the EU job market.

Though general unemployment has been trending downward, it underscores the persistent young generation struggle to secure employment, with specifically a among those aged 15–24 at 14.9%, and the second generation, particularly migrants, at a 6.6%. These figures, however, are lower than the estimator of 10% across the EU for age groups aged 25–44**.

Recent reports from the International Labour Organization (ILO) point to a decreasing trend in second-generation migrants’ participation in labor markets, with average losses of 7.5% in most European countries, according to the 2023 ILO study. In Europe, this drops to -7.9% overall, which includes countries such as Denmark, Iceland, and Norway, which report the most severe declines. Denmark, for instance, has seen its unemployment rate drop to -19.3%, reflecting the onerous hurdles faced by international Labor migrants.

The decline in labor market participation among non-European populations is another line of concern, with country-specific trends such as the reduction in employment opportunities for those in the service sector and robotics fields further illustrating the economic challenges faced by workers fleeing the workplace.

This comprehensive data set, sourced from Eurostat and informed by expert reports, underscores the EU’s concentrated efforts to address job market disparities and provide essential tools for modernizing the labor market. The persistent and uneven progress in unemployment rates among different demographic groups highlights the need for sustained policy innovations to ensure lasting economic resilience in Europe.
