About this ranking

Unemployed people under 25 as a percentage of the labour force under 25.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the regions are compared on one definition. 35 regions with data in other periods have no value for 2006 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
