For instance, if the unemployment rate is adjusted for drop-out induced by the economic crisis, the global youth male unemployment rate would rise from 12.4 to 13.6 per cent, and the global youth female unemployment rate would rise from 13.0 to 13.5 per cent.

Adjusting the youth unemployment rate to account for reduced labour force participation can be obtained by comparing pre-crisis trends in youth labour force participation and the ILO’s estimates of the economically active population. In the figure below, such a comparison is made for each region in 2011, and separately for young men and women.
For instance, if the unemployment rate is adjusted for drop-out induced by the economic crisis, the global youth male unemployment rate would rise from 12.4 to 13.6 per cent, and the global youth female unemployment rate would rise from 13.0 to 13.5 per cent.
