LONG-TERM IMPACT OF YOUTH EMPLOYMENT CRISIS COULD BE FELT FOR DECADES,
WARNS UN REPORTNew York, May 8 2013 1:00PMAn estimated 73 million
young people will be out of work this year, according to a new United
Nations report that says the long-term impact of the youth employment
crisis could be felt for decades and
<"http://www.ilo.org/global/about-the-ilo/newsroom/news/WCMS_212917/lang--en/index.htm">calls
for creative and wide-ranging policy solutions to address the problem.

<i><"http://www.ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/public/---dgreports/---dcomm/documents/publication/wcms_212423.pdf">Global
Employment Trends for Youth 2013: A generation at risk</i> attributes
that high number to persistent unemployment, a proliferation of
temporary jobs and growing youth discouragement in advanced economies;
and poor quality, informal, subsistence jobs in developing countries.

The report, published by the International Labour Organization (ILO),
states that the weakening of the global recovery in 2012 and 2013 has
further aggravated the youth jobs crisis and the queues for available
jobs have become longer and longer for some unfortunate young
jobseekers.

"So long, in fact, that many youth are giving up on the job search.
The prolonged jobs crisis also forces the current generation of youth
to be less selective about the type of job they are prepared to
accept, a tendency that was already evident before the crisis."

It adds that increasing numbers of youth are now turning to available
part-time jobs or find themselves stuck in temporary employment.
Secure jobs, which were once the norm for previous generations – at
least in the advanced economies – have become less easily accessible
for today's youth.

The global youth unemployment rate, which had decreased from 12.7 per
cent in 2009 to 12.3 per cent in 2011, increased again to 12.4 per
cent in 2012, and has continued to grow to 12.6 per cent in 2013.

Youth unemployment and its scarring effects are particularly prevalent
in three regions: developed economies and European Union, the Middle
East and North Africa. In these regions, youth unemployment rates have
continued to "soar" since 2008, says the report.

By 2018 the global youth unemployment rate is projected to rise to
12.8 per cent, with growing regional disparities, as expected
improvements in advanced economies will be offset by increases in
youth unemployment in other regions, mainly in Asia.

"We have never before seen a crisis like the one facing young people
today and it's a crisis that requires everyone to act together," says
Gianni Rosas, coordinator of the ILO Youth Employment Programme and
co-author of the report.

"That means Governments together with the social partners have to
address the crisis now through strategies that focus on growth and
jobs, and through policies and programmes that prioritize young
people."

Mr. Rosas says that a global framework, adopted by representatives of
Governments, employers and workers organizations calls for action in
five main policy areas: employment creation, education and training,
targeting the disadvantaged, entrepreneurship and labour rights.

The best employment programmes, he adds, combine education and
training with work-experience and job-placement support. They include
incentives for employers to hire disadvantaged youth, such as wage
subsidies, tax cuts or social security exemptions for a limited
period.

"The current young generation is worse off than we were 20 years ago
and we need to urgently expand action to address the current youth
employment crisis," he states. "We must keep the objective of
improving the economic and social situation from one generation to
another as it has been in the past. We cannot afford to go
backward."May 8 2013 1:00PM
