I suspect partly because in the map, it is unemployment of youth active in the workforce, in the table, it's unemployment among the total youth.

Since the table also gives the ratio of those active in the workforce, I put the numbers of the table in a spreadsheet - out came:

Danemark    9.0    (map: 4.6)
Roy.-Uni    13.7    (map: 9.3)
Allemagne    13.1   
Espagne    28.1    (map: 22.2)
France    26.6    (map: 17.4)
Italie    30.8    (map: 26.3)
Pologne    65.4   

The remaining difference is either due to data for differing years (no date given for the maps) - or (more likely given that the difference is strongest for high-childbearing-rate Denmark, then France) the inclusion of under-15 for the map.

Good point. I seem to have the bad habit lately of not looking at the fine print before putting my foot in my mouth about some of these numbers. AHHHH!
