This paper is dealing with the problem of youth unemployment and the role that youth unemployment plays when enrolling in a first cycle degree programmes and in a second cycle degree programmes of higher education. After the introduction where we defined theoretical background and factors of youth unemployment, we tested two research hypothesis based on correlation and regression analysis of secondary time series data. Based on our empirical results we could not reject our first hypotheses, that an important reason for young to enrol in a first cycle degree programmes are bad prospects to get a job after completing secondary education. Our second hypothesis, that an important reason for young to enrol in a second cycle degree programmes are bad prospects to get a job after completing a first cycle degree programme, was rejected. In concluding remarks, we interpret our results with an emphasis on the discovered differences regarding the impact of youth unemployment on enrolment in the first and second cycle degree programmes.
