This map shows the patterns of youth unemployment in the Nordic Region in 2013. Persistent or long-term unemployment among young people is a concern in some of the Nordic countries. Some regions and municipalities had notably higher youth unemployment rates than the EU28 average of 23.8% in 2013. Some regions in Sweden in particular have high youth unemployment, e.g. Blekinge, Gävleborg, Gotland and Södermanland, all with youth unemployment rate of around 30%. Three of the micro economies in the Nordic region, Iceland, Åland and, in particular, the Faroe Islands, do not face challenges in terms of youth unemployment, with generally low levels, but Greenland is challenged by higher rates of youth unemployment, up to 22%, which is the case in Kujalleq (South Greenland).
