Global youth unemployment and AI role
In 2025, the youth unemployment rate, for those aged 15 to 24, rose to 12.4 percent, which is approximately 67 million young people worldwide, according to the International Labour Organization. The main reasons for this increase are the slowdown in economic growth and geopolitical tensions, in addition to the growing impact of artificial intelligence, which has led to a decline in traditional jobs such as office, administrative, service, and industrial roles. The organization also indicated that 6.1 percent of youth jobs are vulnerable to AI effects, and if 10 percent of these jobs disappear, around 5.6 million young people could face unemployment or the need to change their careers. The organization predicts that the unemployment rate will remain steady at 12.3 percent in 2026 and 2027.
