According to the ILO, the International Labor Organization, in 2011 they numbered globally 200 million jobless, with an unemployment rate of 6%. Of these, 75 million are young (12,7% of the total). A figure, the latter, which is even more frightening if we consider that since 2007 there has been an increase of 4 million units.
The world will therefore have to face the urgent challenge of creating 600 million jobs over the next 10 years to generate sustainable growth, maintain the necessary social cohesion and put an end to a trend of rising unemployment that is starting to become really worrying.
In the meantime, for the current year the Organization estimates an increase in the unemployed of 3 million units, plus another six million by 2016. The ILO then pointed the finger at the people whose work fails to ensure a 'dignified' life, which are 900 million, and on the so-called 'vulnerable' jobs, which amount to about 1,52 billion with an increase of 23 million compared to three years ago.
