But the millions of young people who attend university or vocational training programs are not considered part of the labor force, because they are neither working nor looking for a job. In calculating youth unemployment, therefore, the same number of unemployed individuals is divided by a much smaller number, to reflect the smaller labor force, which makes the unemployment rate look a lot higher.
但数以百万计的大学在读生和假期培训生并不被认为是劳动力，因为他们既没有在工作，也没有在找工作。因此，在年轻人失业率的计算中，同样数量的找不到工作者所除之除数要小得多，这是因为劳动力总数更小，因此失业率看起来会高得多。
