According to new research by the International Labor
Organization, an agency that brings together governments, employers and worker
representatives from 187 countries, the number of people out of work around the
world will hit 200 million in 2017.
In a report this week, the ILO said global
unemployment is expected to rise by 3.4 million this year, and by 2.7 million
in 2018, because the workforce is growing at a faster pace than jobs are being
created.
"Economic growth continues to disappoint,"
said Guy Ryder, ILO director general. "This paints a worrisome picture for
the global economy and its ability to generate enough jobs, let alone quality
jobs."
