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

Youth unemployment among young males highlights the percentage of the male labor force aged 15 to 24 who are jobless yet actively seeking work. This metric serves as a crucial barometer of economic health and social stability, reflecting the challenges faced by young men in entering the labor market. Variations in definitions of labor force participation and unemployment rates across countries can lead to differing interpretations of this data. High youth unemployment rates may signal broader issues, such as insufficient job creation, skills mismatches, or economic downturns, while also indicating the potential for social unrest. Monitoring this indicator helps policymakers and stakeholders develop targeted interventions to improve job opportunities and facilitate economic integration for young males. Source:
