Nordic report: ‘Youth on the edge’ the greatest problem

Nordic youth unemployment figures between 10 and 25 percent are bad enough. Even more alarming is the fact that 5 to 10 percent of Nordic 15 to 24 year olds are not in education, work or training. This problem has risen during the latest economic crisis.

Nordic seniors want longer working lives

Nordic women and men work for longer than their European colleagues, and the retirement age is increasing. But there are also differences between the Nordic countries.

Nordic women have gained a little more power since last year.

Women in the Nordic region are slightly more equal on 8 March this year compared to last year.
