In the EU, young people are not all equal  when it comes to unemployment.

Germans and Austrians are doing pretty  well with less than 10% unemployed.

On the other hand,  young Spaniards, Greeks and Croats

are at the top with over 40% unemployment.

Among European citizens, young people  are the group most affected.

The unemployment rate  for 15- to 24-year-olds

is more than double than that for adults.

It affects just over two young people in 10,

are not in education,  employment or training.

They're the ones who have  the most difficulty finding a job.

Bulgaria is the country  with the highest number,

whereas the Netherlands has  the lowest number of NEETS.

And when these young people do find work  it's often unstable.

Over 40% of them are working  on a temporary contract.

And one-third of part-time contracts  are filled by young people.
