Unemployment, youth female (% of female labor force ages 15-24) (national estimate)

This metric measures the proportion of young women, aged 15-24, within the female labor force who are unemployed yet actively seeking job opportunities. Youth unemployment is a critical indicator of economic health, reflecting not only the challenges faced by younger demographics in accessing employment but also the broader socio-economic conditions that may hinder their participation in the workforce. Factors influencing this figure include educational attainment, skills mismatch, and socio-cultural barriers. Variations in definitions of unemployment and labor force participation across countries can further complicate the interpretation of this data, making it essential for policymakers to consider contextual factors when devising strategies aimed at improving employment prospects for young women.
