00:00Where in Europe do students work the most?
00:07More than one in four young Europeans aged between 15 and 29 were working and studying at the same time in 2024.
00:15This situation was most common in the Netherlands at 74.3%, Denmark at 56.4% and Germany at 45.8%.
00:26In contrast, Romania, Greece and Croatia reported the lowest shares among EU countries.
00:32More than 7 in 10 young people remained outside the labor force while studying.

00:42The highest shares of unemployed young people in formal education were recorded in Sweden, Finland and Denmark.

00:5774.4% of women aged between 15 and 19 were out of the job market compared with 70.4% of men of the same age.
