Sažetak
In this paper, the authors analyse the factors and their intensity of influence on youth unemployment in the European Union. The aim of the study is to determine how important macroeconomic factors such as gross domestic product (GDP), foreign direct investment (FDI), public investment in education, the proportion of part-time work and investment in research and development influence the employment opportunities of young people. The study is based on panel data and the period analysed ranges from 2009 to 2023 and covers all 27 EU member states. A multiple linear regression is used to analyse the data, with the youth unemployment rate as the dependent variable. The main objective of this paper is to investigate whether economic growth affects youth unemployment and to analyse how government spending on education affects youth unemployment. The research findings can contribute to a better understanding of the role of macroeconomic policies in solving the problem of youth unemployment and provide recommendations for the design of effective employment and economic policies in the EU Member States.
