ILO reports global youth unemployment at 12.4%
The International Labour Organization has revealed that the global youth unemployment rate increased to 12.4% in 2025, affecting approximately 67 million individuals aged 15 to 24, compared to 12.3% in 2023. The organization attributed this to slowed economic growth, limited job opportunities, and the impact of geopolitical tensions. Additionally, the rate of young people neither engaged in employment, education, nor training rose to 20%, equivalent to more than 257 million people. The report also noted that 6.1% of youth jobs are vulnerable to the effects of artificial intelligence technologies, with nearly widespread declines in employment opportunities across eight out of eleven regions, where medium-skilled jobs—once essential for youth in the labor market—have diminished significantly.
