The article presents the results of the econometric estimation of the influence of the individual characteristics of youth (sex, age, education, profession etc.) on unemployment using binomial logit regression. The analysis was based on the survey of youth aged 16-29 years in the Vitebsk region. The survey was carried out within the framework of the research work «Prevention of youth unemployment in the border regions of Latvia and Belarus in conditions of overcoming the crisis», conducted by specialists of the Vitebsk State Technological University (Republic of Belarus) with financial support of the Belarusian Republican Foundation for Fundamental Research. As a result of the study, the significant effect of the regressors on the probability of unemployment was not revealed.
