The line chart gives information about the percentage of young people without a job in five European countries between 2000 and 2012.

In 2000, the youth unemployment rate in Italy was about 27%, while the figure for France was 20%, double that of Britain. One year later, both Italy and France saw a decline to 34% and 17% respectively, whereas Britain witnessed a rise of 5%. From 2006 to 2008, these figures in all three countries leveled off between 20% and 22%, before ending the period at about 35%, 25%, and 24% respectively.
