Young people in Mexico are facing an unemployment rate that is nearly twice the national average.

More than 7 million young Mexicans between the age of 15 and 29 are jobless, "the majority of those of us who graduated from university don't have anywhere to get a full time job", said Paola Alcazar, a young woman struggling to find a job in Mexico.

A recent study found that unemployment is highest among the most educated women.

Al Jazeera's Adam Raney follows the story of one woman's challenge to find a job in Mexico City.
