Research : Investing in Youth: Large Scale Approaches to Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship
Imagine Nations Group, Case Study Report, 2008 - Over the next decade, the International Labour Organization (ILO) expects more than one billion young people to enter the global labor market. Some labor experts predict, however, that based on current trends only 300 million new jobs will likely be created during this same period. This gap between the global youth labor supply and actual labor market demand presents a great challenge for developing countries where nearly 85 percent of these job seekers live, where youth unemployment and under-employment rates are at the highest rates on record, and where young people are more than four times as likely to be unemployed compared with older workers.
