Global Unemployment Worry Grows--Internatioal Labor Organization
Published:
The Internatioal Labor Organization wing of the UN reported that unemployment worldwide will worsen this year. In the summary, the ILO’s researchers stated
Over the past year, labour markets have been affected by the slowdown in global growth. This is all the more problematic because labour markets had not fully recovered from the global crisis that erupted in 2008: there is still a deficit of around 50 million jobs in comparison to the pre-crisis situation. It is unlikely that the world economy will grow at a sufficient pace over the next couple of years to both close the existing jobs deficit and provide employment for the over 80 million people expected to enter the labour market during this period.
The report said worry over what austerity will do about employment in Europe should be particularly strong. That other significant concern is that in a very large number of nations too many people are employed part time but cannot find full-time work.
