Employment Rate of Young People in Spain

According to Funcas, the Spanish Savings Banks Foundation, in 2025, only 72% of young people aged 25 to 29 in Spain are employed.

This figure is lower than the EU-27 average (77%) and places Spain in 26th position out of the 27 EU countries.

Funcas analyzed this data in its latest Nota de Coyuntura Social (Social Situation Note), finding it striking that more than a quarter of young people aged 25 to 29 are not working.

The percentage of Spaniards aged 25 to 29 who are working relative to the total population of that age group is 14 points higher than the 2013 low (58%), but it is still below the 2007 peak (79%).

Compared to 1987, the rate is 15 points higher (57%).
