Youth unemployment crisis in Europe

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Unemployment in the eurozone has reached another record high, according to official figures. We hear about the challenges facing students in Italy and ask what the long term consequences could be for younger people unable to find a job. Also as economic growth slows down in India, we hear how the owner of a car parts factory in Mumbai - and his family - are coping. The government of Kyrgyztan has declared a state of emergency after clashes around a gold mine which is vital to the central Asian economy. And we talk about a tough week for technology firms with Matthew Karnitschnig of the Wall Street Journal in Berlin and Peter Coy, Economics Editor of Businessweek.
