The highest unemployment rates are among the younger people (15 to 19 years of age) and are four times those of the adult population (see figure 11.12 a)). The unemployment rates reported on the basis of household surveys in Colombia, Panama and the Dominican Republic included hidden unemployment. The figures for Argentina correspond to Greater Buenos Aires, for Bolivia to eight main cities and El Alto, for Uruguay to urban areas and for Paraguay to Asuncion and Central Department. As reported in a recent study by ECLAC and the Ibero-American Youth Organization (OU) on the current situation of young people (ECLAC/OIJ 2008), it is precisely the poorest young people who are most affected by unemployment: around 2005, the average rate of unemployment among young people between 15 and 29 years of age belonging to the poorest per capita income quintile was slightly over 24%, a percentage which decreases gradually to reach 6.6% among young people in the richest quintile.
