Resum:	Territorial disparities and youth labour markets have been often considered as separated themes, due to challenges indata availability. Comparative regional or sub-regional research on youth labour market integration have been therefore scarse. In this article, we address this gap by presenting a composite measure of Youth Labour Market Integration (YLMI) that covers a wide range of indicators and shedslight on the EU territorial divide of young peoples ́opportunitiesat regional level. In order to build the YLMI index, we use benefit-of-the-doubt-weighting, a seminal methodology on composite indicators (CI) that combines sequence with conditional weights based on the range of each sub-indicator. To proof the usefulness of YLMI, we analyze the evolution of regional youth labour market integration in the EU before and after the economic crisis; andthe trends of homogenization or differentiation across EU territories. Furthermore, we investigate to what extent employment conditions, skills supply and technological resourcesexplain cross-regional variations in youth labour market integration.
