[A] It turns out that unemployed youth with the most education in high-income economies have worse physical well-being than those with less education. Unemployed youth with college degrees have the lowest physical well-being, followed by those with secondary education, and then primary education. So not only is there something unique about youth unemployment in high-income economies, but there is also something unique about educational attainment levels within them. So what might explain these counterintuitive and troubling findings?
[B] We know a lot about the devastating health effects of unemployment. But new analysis reveals just how bad it can be for unemployed youth in high-income countries. Our Gallup-Healthways Global Weil-Being Index found that among 47 high-income countries, the physical well-being of unemployed young adults between the ages of 15 to 29 is statistically tied with employed people aged 50 and older. And in the U.S., where we were able to analyze a sufficient sample size, unemployed youth have a worse physical well-being compared with employed older adults. The same phenomenon is not observed in many lower-income to upper-middle-income economies, where unemployed youth on average enjoy higher physical well-being compared with employed older adults. In other words, these findings are unique to unemployed young people in many highly developed economies.
[C] Seeing such a low percentage of young people who are thriving in their physical well-being relative to others cries out for action. Much attention has been dedicated to the problem of youth unemployment in developing countries (for good reason), but it is clearly a problem for high-income countries as well. And in high-income countries—where unemployed youth may suffer from stigmas and lack family support—it raises important questions about how best to serve them and help them find meaningful work.
[D] Second, unemployment may be harder to bear when family support is absent. Take three reference points: India, Mexico, and the U.S. In India, the vast majority of Generation-program students are living with several members in their households. U.S. youth, on the other hand, are often on their own. Mexico is a middle point between the two. For reference, Mexico and India, when viewed as part of upper-middle-income and lower-middle-income economies, tend to have higher percentages of thriving among young unemployed adults.
[E] What’s the cause? A quick answer would be that many of these young adults were in poor physical well-being to begin with, preventing them from working. This is possible. But our analysis also leads to some other viable explanations. Could the stigma of not having a job as a young person in a highly developed economy be devastating enough that it is similar to adding 30 years of aging to one’s physical well-being?
[F] For answers, we turned to McKinsey Social Initiative’s Generation, a youth employment program that is active in five countries spanning various income levels: the U.S., Spain, Mexico, India and Kenya, It has supported more than 8,000 youth across these geographies in the past 20 months, and its data and experiences yield two hypotheses that may explain why these outcomes are so prevalent in the United States specifically.
[G] First, sharing the burden with a peer group lessens the health effects of unemployment. In Spain, youth unemployment rates had reached more than 50% two years ago and remain upward of 40%. In spite of this massive rate, the physical well-being of unemployed Spanish youth is higher than that of unemployed youth in the U.S., where youth unemployment rates were between 11% to 12% in July this year. We hypothesize that U.S. youth who are unemployed could be suffering lower physical well-being than their counterparts because they are an anomaly in a high-employment economy and therefore bear a higher individual cost.

选项
答案
B
解析
本题要选文章首段,可先用排除法。C、E位置已给出,不用考虑。浏览其余各段的开头部分之后,可接着排除段首分别含Second、For answers和First的D、F、G三段。剩下A、B两段。A开头的It turns out,意为“结果是,原来是,结果发现……”,也不是文章开端会用的表达,故排除A。B通过指出高收入国家的失业年轻人的健康状况很差这个现象引入本文要探讨的话题,符合文章开篇特点;且从第二段(即E)首句可知.第一段应该讲述了某种现象或问题,B的内容与此相符。故最终确定B为答案。
