Question

why did unemployment increase in urban areas in Europe ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Unemployment is not confined to developing-country cities. Cities in developed countries have been hit disproportionally hard by de-industrialisation, since most manufacturing was located in cities. Over the last two decades the average drop in manufacturing employment in G7 countries was 15 per cent. Among the larger EU countries, the UK's share of manufacturing employment declined by 43%, France's by 23% and Germany's by 14%. Most EU countries are struggling with double-digitunemployment with the result that social exclusion, once relatively rare in western Europe, is now prevalent in large cities and towns. The US has low unemployment, but average real wages have stagnated in the last 20 years, and high pockets of unemployment do exist in some large U.S. cities.
