Over 200 million people today are unemployed
Monday, September 6th, 2010Reported by: Emon CRWE Newswire Middle East correspondent.
As a result of the global financial crisis more than 30 million people worldwide have found themselves without work. This conclusion was made by experts of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and International Labour Organization (ILO).
A joint report of the different organization including Voice of America stated that the total number of unemployed worldwide reached 210 million.
According to the IMF and the ILO, the crisis is particularly painful for countries with developed economies, and unemployment there remains high. But the crisis of 2007-2009, also affected the developing countries, increasing the number of people living below the poverty line. (which varies with each country)
The document’s authors urge all governments to continue efforts to increase domestic demand by stimulating their economies, and mitigate the damage caused by increasing unemployment benefits and programs on employment.
Unemployment among young people in the world reached record levels.
One of the side effects of unemployment is an increase in the rate and level of crime.
