The International Labour Organisation (ILO) emphasized the concern for 12.6% of young people unemployed worldwide in 2012, the report Global Employment Trends 2013, which will be released tomorrow (22). According to the organization's data, lack of employment reaches 74 million people between 15 and 24 years, about 37.5% of all people without formal employment. The unemployment rate among people above this age group was 4.5% in the same period.
For the ILO, one of the points of concern in the context of youth unemployment is prolonged staying away from work. In Europe, for example, 35% of young people were unemployed six months or more in this situation. The most serious consequences of that, according to the organization, are the motivation and spacing of the labor market.
"Having the experience of such long periods of unemployment or leave the labor market at the beginning of the career affect the long-term prospects, which contributes to the erosion of social and professional qualification and prevents young people accumulate work experience," said the report.
The average rates of unemployment among youth and adults in the world, if compared, even have a difference of up to eight percentage points. While unemployment is on average 12.6% of the population between 15 and 24 years, affects 4.5% of adults. In the Middle East, where unemployment rates among young people are the highest in the world, reaching 28.1%, the same percentage among adults is 7.5%, more than 20.6 percentage points difference. In North Africa, with 23.8% of the young unemployed, the difference for adults is 10.7 percentage points (7.5% unemployed).
The group of developed economies - including the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Spain, Portugal and other countries - the difference reaches 10.6 percentage points, with 17.6% of young people, on average, unemployed. According to the ILO, there are countries in Western Europe where the rate reaches 50% of people between 15 and 24 years.
