Are we losing a generation to unemployment? | Forum:Blog | The World Economic Forum
As many as 200 million people around the world want work and cannot
find it, after almost four years of a global financial crisis and even
some economic growth.
For the young, unemployment is not just cyclical, it is a chronic
condition that is robbing them of a secure future and depriving society
of their contributions towards a healthier and more economically
productive society.
I find this unacceptable. We are in danger of losing a generation.
Despite many efforts to integrate young people into the workforce
through training programmes and investments in education, over 75
million still have no formal job. Young people are three times more
likely than adults to be unemployed.
