Ah, I see! That means youths in Italy are > 36% jobless! In this case, all Italian youth is the full 100%.

Since Italian youth is more than 36% jobless... Out of the 28 European Union states (makes up a whole 100%), Italy counts as 18%, making Italy the country with the most amount of jobless youths. Hope you understood this!

@momochanhs More or less understood your explanation…So let's suppose Italy with a population of 100, and a jobless rate of 36%, all the EU population of 1000, including the 100 of Italy, then a total of 200 youths of EU are jobless, among which the 36 jobless Italian account for 18%? Am I understanding it right?😃
