The costs of benefits paid out to unemployed young people, foregone earnings and taxes are estimated by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) to be the equivalent of 1.21 % of GDP, i.e. an annual loss of €153 billion for the EU.
Noortele töötutele makstavate hüvitiste kulud, saamata jäänud tulud ja maksud võrduvad Euroopa Elu- ja Töötingimuste Parandamise Fondi (Eurofound) hinnangul 1,21 %-ga SKPst, see tähendab ELi jaoks igal aastal kahjumit 153 miljardit eurot.
