The exact aggregate figure of a 20% loss of youth across BOTH the Azores and Madeira together does not appear in any source located; the closest youth-specific datum found is for Madeira only.
The youth-specific data found (Madeira regional statistics office) refers to the SHARE of young people in the total population (16.4% in 2011 → 12.7% in 2021, a relative decline of ~23%), not to absolute numbers of young people lost.
For the Azores, only the total population decline (-4.2%, from 246,772 in 2011 to 236,413 in 2021) was found; no Azores-specific youth-population figure was retrieved within the search budget.
All figures are drawn from the 2011–2021 census decade; sources are dated 2022, i.e. within the decade-relevant period and knowable before the session date.
