Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the development of unemployment levels in the period between 2008 and 2017. This period is characterised by the Great Recession and the subsequent recovery. Countries have experienced different trajectories of unemployment development both within these two sub-stages and between these two sub-stages of the last decade. Partially, this can be explained with the economic development these countries have experienced during this period, but the paper shows that also other factors have contributed to these different paths of development.
