Youth unemployment in the United States is an absolute disaster right now. Check out this chart showing the unemployment rate for 20-24 year-olds who aren't enrolled in school:
This is much higher than the national average unemployment rate, and because it's afflicting young people it's likely to leave life-long scars on their earnings potential and on the American economy. A smart Brookings analysis from Joseph Parilla and Alan Berube suggests that the United States might want to look to look to Germany for some answers since Germany's 8 percent youth unemployment rate is massively lower than the American or European Union average.
Of course Germany has a whole has a lower unemployment rate than the United States — 5.1 percent versus 6.7 percent — but the youth unemployment gap is larger than the overall one.
Taking vocational education seriously
The biggest and most salient difference in terms of youth labor market policy between the United States and Germany is that Germany takes vocational education seriously. In the US, vocational schooling became stigmatized as a way of shortchanging some kids' potential so we shifted to a mentality that's notionally focused on the idea of sending everyone to college. But of course we don't send everyone to college and in fact have lots of people dropping out of high school. As Berube and Parilla write, German vocational education is a serious option that "blends classroom education with on-the-job training through apprenticeships, equipping young people not bound for university with practical labor market skills."
