This Eurostat dataset (une_rt_m) provides monthly unemployment statistics broken down by sex and age, published as an EU-wide, seasonally-adjusted official series. It is delivered via the SDMX 2.1 REST API, with a key structured as freq.s_adj.age.unit.sex.geo, where age is fixed to TOTAL in this data flow. Trailing-dot wildcards can be used to select all geographic areas server-side, and the startPeriod and endPeriod parameters allow users to bound the requested time window. The dataset supports comparative analysis of labour market conditions across EU member states over time.Unemployment by sex and age — monthly data (une_rt_m), seasonally-adjusted official EU-wide series over SDMX 2.1 REST. Key path freq.s_adj.age.unit.sex.geo (age uses TOTAL in this flow); trailing-dot wildcards select all geos server-side; startPeriod/endPeriod bound the window.
