ILO, 2010 - Across the globe, the economic crisis has had a dramatic impact on the challenges facing young people seeking jobs. Between 2008 and 2009, the youth unemployment rate has seen the largest annual increase on record, reversing the pre-crisis trend of declining youth unemployment rates since 2002. Creating jobs for the millions of young women and men entering the labour market every year is a critical component in the path towards wealthier economies. It is not only the quantity but also the quality of jobs that matters.
