Arab nations lead in youth unemployment
Global youth unemployment rates are projected to rise in 2025, reaching 12.4%. This translates to approximately 67 million young men and women aged between 15 and 24, according to a report by the International Labour Organization. The increase is attributed to the economic downturn and weak job creation, which present greater obstacles for young people entering the labor market and push many outside of employment, education, and training. Arab countries and North Africa record the highest youth unemployment rates, at 26.2% and 22.6% respectively, with most young people working in the informal sectors. It is also observed that technological advancements, especially artificial intelligence, are impacting available job opportunities, leading to changes in the nature of professions. The report emphasizes the need to invest in education and training and to develop effective employment policies to ensure decent job opportunities for young people, particularly under fragile conditions.
