    Youth Unemployment

    YOUTH unemployment is blighting a whole generation of youngsters. The International Labour Organisation estimates there are 75m 15-to-24-year-olds looking for work across the globe. But this figure excludes a large number of youngsters who do not participate in the labour market at all. Among the 34 members of the OECD, a club of rich nations, it is estimated there are 26m youths not in education, employment or training (so-called NEETs). Similarly, across the developing countries, the World Bank estimates that there are 262m such youths. All told, there are perhaps as many as 290m 15-to-24-year-olds not participating in the labour market— almost a quarter of the world’s youth, and a group almost as large as the population of America. More young people are idle than ever before. Why?…

    Youth Unemployment

    Youth unemployment, which encompasses individuals in the age range of 15 to 24, is the demographic that is the most likely to be unemployed. This can often be attributed to the difficult time youth may have transitioning from school to work, especially for those who have neither experience nor education to secure a job in the current labor market. The purpose of this report is to discuss the current youth unemployment rate, comparing it to the real unemployment rate, comparing it to the U.S. youth unemployment and any trends that are either occurring because of the youth unemployment rate, or that are influencing the youth unemployment rate.…

    “Biggest Challenges Young Adults Face Today”

    A challenge facing youth is unemployment. When looking back as far as decades ago, the youth of today have a very hard time finding a steady good job. During the time period we have notice that economy has had a downturn which affected jobs and several other companies.
