The bar graph compares the unemployment rates between the 15 to 24 age group and the total population, in five different nations in Europe in 2005. Overall, the unemployment rate of the young cohort was higher than the overall percentage for all given countries. Additionally, Poland recorded the highest proportion for both categories, whereas Denmark experienced the lowest.
In terms of individuals aged 15 to 24, approximately 36% of Polish youths were jobless, which was significantly higher than Italy and Hungary at roughly 23% and around 16%, respectively. Moreover, the unemployment rate of youngsters in Germany was nearly 15%, while that of Denmark was the lowest result at about 7%.
Turning to the overall unemployment rate, Poland documented a national rate of precisely 15%, followed by Germany at one-tenth. Furthermore, Italy and Hungary exhibited comparable percentage points of around 7%, which was about double that of Denmark.
