Bulgaria's Youth Unemployment Decreases

The level of youth unemployment in Bulgaria decreases, said Elka Dimitrova, head of the Labour Market Policies department at the Labour and Social Policies Ministry, quoted by BTA.

According to Dimitrova, year-on-year unemployment among people up to 29 years of age has dropped by 5%, to 23%. In her words, this was below the average for the EU.

In Dimitrova's opinion, the decrease was thanks to the slow recovery of Bulgaria's economy and the implementation of various state programmes.
