A lower youth unemployment rate isn't entirely unlikely - it might simply reflect that they're more likely to take up low-paid jobs or it might reflect that the children of immigrants find it easier to take up employment than their parents or it might reflect that young people are less likely to get caught up in long-term unemployment after losing a job at an older age. All sorts of possibilities: it's not daft on the face of it.

I don't think it is daft,,,it just is very unusual and conflicts with the data one would normally see for youth unemployment.  For example, check out the chart Migura references below, by Alexandra.  It shows the more normal pattern of twenties unemployment versus older age groups.
