ILO Global employment trends for youth 2006

According to the new International Labour Organization (ILO) report on Global Employment Trends for Youth:
  • unemployed youth make up almost half of the world’s total unemployed.
  • One in three is either seeking but unable to find work, has given up the job search or is working but living on less than US$2 a day.
  • While youth population grew between 1995 and 2005, employment among young people did not keep up.

The report provides youth labour market indicators. It also offers analysis of the relationship between the lack of employment opportunities and poverty, explains causes of inactivity and pinpoints challenges of school-to-work transition.
