Description This paper analyses inequality in terms of youth unemployment rates across the EU15 regions and countries, before and throughout the 2008 Economic Crisis. A series of descriptive investigations explore intra-national regional inequalities, as well as cross-national ones. It is found that before the crisis, there were generalized low average levels of youth unemployment and inequality was mostly found within countries. Throughout the crisis, intra-national homogeneity and cross-national inequality increased. By 2013 a polarization dynamic emerged, with a Southern/Mediterranean European group of regions that reached acutely high levels of youth unemployment, versus a few countries that were resilient to the crisis and Germany that reduced its youth unemployment rates.
