Just like most EU cities, particularly those in the euro area, the
streets of Brussels are packed with young people who cannot find a job.
According to Eurostat, the EU's statistical agency, an additional 19,000
people joined the dole queues in the EU during the month of November.
There
are 26.5 million adults unemployed in the EU, 19 million of whom live
in the eurozone. From November 2012 to November 2013, unemployment rose
by 452,000. 1 in 3 adults are unemployed in Greece and Spain. 5.6
million young adults, under the age of 25, are unemployed in the EU.
Some argue that the EU institutions are to blame for not properly
managing immigrations. Some economists are forecasting that it could be
up to four years before there is a significant improvement to the
eurozone's crippling unemployment problem and that's possible only if
states are not hit by a new economic crisis in the meantime.
