"It's not only the EU "crisis" countries that have high levels of youth unemployement. In Russia, many recent graduates are taking any job they can find. Experts are calling on Russia's politicians to change that. Approximately 30 percent of Russian university graduates under the age of 25 do not have a full-time job. If they do, they've had a rough time getting there. Anywhere from 65 to 70 percent of graduates are not able to find work directly after graduation, but require, on average, five-to-six months to find a position." (Quoted from article)
