Norweigan youth unemployment was 10% in December 2015[1], which is pretty high, though not as bad as Spain or Greece. It's higher than the US. Of course Europe is not monolithic nor uniform. Nonetheless one can discern valid generalities. It is true that youth unemployment is generally quite high, and indeed constitutes a major social problem throughout the EU. It's better or worse than average in some particular countries, but it's definitely a much bigger problem throughout Europe than in the US. Only Germany has a lower youth unemployment rate than the US in the entire EU. * http://www.statista.com/statistics/266228/youth-unemployment-rate-in-eu-countries/ http://www.statista.com/statistics/266228/youth-unemployment... * http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Unemployment_statistics#Youth_unemployment_trends http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/... * http://www.statista.com/statistics/266228/youth-unemployment-rate-in-eu-countries/ http://www.statista.com/statistics/266228/youth-unemployment...
