It talks about youth unemployment, but also says the birthrate has crashed from 6 children/woman to 2.
Surely 1 would solve the other?
Edit:
So according to wikipedia, these are the age distributions:
0-14 years: 25.74%
15-24 years: 15.58%
25-54 years: 49.88%
55-64 years: 5.48%
65 years and over: 3.32%
This suggests to me about the right amount of young adults, not too many, with potential issues in 10ish years time.
Note that "upto 37%" of the population are immigrants, I assume they disproportionately fall into the 25-54 age range, and that that immigration could be controlled to some extent if needed.
