Pinpointing Europe's Social Unrest Hot-Spots Following the ongoing rioting in until-now-calm Sweden, we thought it interesting to revisit the increasing chance of more broad-based social unrest in Europe. With the summer rapidly approaching, austerity still heavy in the air (well fauxsterity at least), there is a massive and growing divide not only between core and peripheral nations' youth unemployment but also within a nation. For instance, while Greece tops the overall youth unemployment level in Europe, 4 of the Top 5 regions (some with youth unemployment levels of over 70%) are from Spain. As lip-service is paid to addressing this pressing issue by the French and Germans (who themselves are increasingly at loggerheads over policy), as Bloomberg's Niraj Shah notes, *the chasm between the rich and poor in Europe continues to gap ever wider.*
