ROME, July 31, 2014 (AFP) - Italy's youth unemployment rate hit a record high in June, raising concerns that Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's economic and labour reforms are not doing enough to help the country's young.
The rate among 15 to 24-year-olds climbed to a record 43.7 per cent from 43.1 per cent in May, data from the national statistics institute (ISTAT) showed on Thursday.
