Youth Unemployment in Spain
3rd May 2016
I have used this superb 2015 news report from Channel 4's Matt Frei when teaching the economics of youth unemployment. He visits a small town outside of Madrid where the majority of young people are out of work and many have been jobless for several years. Even in industries that are booming such as the wine sector, increasing capital intensity of production means that relatively few new jobs have been created.
