Taking into account initial levels (i.e. relative change), Denmark almost tripled the share of children living in jobless households although starting from a low base (3.3% in 2008) while Cyprus and Portugal almost double it reaching 7.2 and 9.2% respectively in 2012. 5This indicator is the share of children under 18 in households where no one works and is different from the low work intensity measure that is one of the official EU social exclusion indicators. Indeed, Germany and Turkey were the only countries where both youth unemployment (15-24) and prime-age unemployment (25-54) decreased between 2008 and 2013 (Chzhen and Richardson, 2014).
