    18-24 would be the demographic I am particularly interested in.

    This website gives figures for the EU.

    You could try looking at google.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_unemployment_rate#cite_note-15

    There's different dates and different sources.

    Some figures you wouldn't be wise to trust. The official unemployment figure for Belarus is 0.7%. Belarus is dictatorship. And in Belarus, the happiest country in the world, there is no unemployment.

    I wouldn't trust the figures for Ireland either. Ireland officially has an unemployment rate of 14%. But if you calculate the numbers of people claiming social welfare - against the workforce, the figure you get is over 20%.
