Youth unemployment rates across EC countries
O'Hanlon requested under-25 unemployment rates in each EC country. Barrett said comparable labour force survey data were available for 1983 and would circulate the figures, noting some were provisional.
asked the Taoiseach the percentage of young persons under 25 years of age unemployed in each country of the EC.
Comment on this
Dún Laoghaire): The only comparable information available is that obtained from the labour force surveys. I propose to circulate a statement containing the relevant data for 1983, the latest year for which the EC Statistical Office can provide the information. The 1983 labour force survey results are not yet available to the EC Statistical Office for all the member countries and provisional data are shown in these cases.
Following is the statement:
Percentage of persons under 25 years of age unemployed in each member country of the EC — April-May 1983.
1. 1983 Labour Force Survey results:
2. Provisional estimates for 1983:
Source: EC Statistical Office.
Notes (i) The data shown at 2 above are provisional and subject to revision when the 1983 labour force survey results become available.
(ii) In all cases the figures shown are the number of unemployed persons under 25 years of age using the EC definition as percentages of the labour force of same age.
