That's a fair point. But is that common in the EU? Also it depends on your working definition of unemployment.

I don't know data from other countries but I'm positive the situation is similar in Spain/Portugal while probably even worse in Greece. People who live in France, UK and Germany are definitely in a better position, also as far as Italy is concerned in that 40% there's very few part-timers since people who are under 30 are considered unreliable so most companies tend to hire older people...

The economy in the UK maybe better but housing is far from better, the market is overly inflated when it comes to pricing whether you're buying or renting, where I live in Camden people can be charged £900 a month for a bedsit. Now factor in the costs of living, travel to work, utility bills, council tax etc... In the UK we essentially have the same problem only from a different angle.
