Youth unemployment is still rising in Belgium, according to the latest Eurostat figures, which show that 22.4 per cent of people under 25 do not have a job.
What is “eye-catching”, notes De Morgen, is that “the biggest rise is for the group with secondary and higher education level qualifications. Higher education is no longer a guarantee of a job.”
In Flanders, the average increase in the rate of unemployment is now 8 per cent, but among people holding university degrees, it is 12.8 per cent.
