Four out of 10 unemployed people in Argentina are less than 24 years old

Cuatro de cada 10 desocupados tienen menos de 24 años.

• Argentineans under 24 years of age are three times as likely to be unemployed.


• This means that 718,000 youth cannot find work out of a total of 1.8 million people without work, meaning that 26.3% of Argentina's under-24s are unemployed, more than double the official unemployment rate.


• Only a minority of these younger Argentineans qualify directly for direct social assistance plans (Jefes y Jefas de Hogar).
