Spain’s youth unemployment is the highest in Europe. I hope it’s improving, but economically Spain has not recovered post-2008 in line with others in the EU.

  Don't worry. Finland has taken over with the highest unemployment and will likely soon have the highest youth unemployment.

    Probably because in Finland you are provided housing and money even if you don't work.

      No, that's not it. Instead it's the right-wing "geniuses" running the government that have been a major cause of this. The NCP and Finns Party keep making a mess of things in the name of their ideology.

      You're absolutely right, and that's a load-bearing point. If we just kill the unemployed people, there will be low unemployment.

> fastest growing European country by many metrics Countries grow in secondary matters and the primary ones (civilization) remain unattended. And by the way, when something "grows fast", do not misunderstand the indicator... Ethiopia had a 13% annual growth recently; Guyana has a 16% annual growth at this time: you are not thinking that "life is good there" and "Miami videoclip vibes everywhere", right?

Spain is deemed a full democracy by all objective and independent metrics. I am debating whether to even post this reply since your point to compare it to Ethiopia is so absurd you're likely not going to agree with facts. And yes, "life is good there", by also topping some, albeit, not objective quality of life metrics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index#List_by_country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index#... https://freedomhouse.org/explore-the-map?type=fiw&year=2026 https://freedomhouse.org/explore-the-map?type=fiw&year=2026 https://www.internations.org/expat-insider/2026/quality-of-life-2026 https://www.internations.org/expat-insider/2026/quality-of-l...
