D-MTEC Media Update – Level of youth unemployment underestimated

D-MTEC experts engage with issues that affect society, the economy and business. The D-MTEC Media Update provides links to recent articles, interviews and commentaries. The Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs underestimates the level of unemployment as young people often do not register at the employment office, says Michael Siegenthaler of the KOF Swiss Economic Institute. Since they are affected by the COVID-19 crisis more than others, it would be especially important to know the exact figures.
