B-roll: Unemployment and decent work deficits to remain high in 2018
As the global economy recovers but with a growing labour force, global unemployment in 2018 is projected to remain at a similar level to last year’s, says a new report by the International Labour Organization (ILO). According to the "World Employment and Social Outlook: Trends 2018", the global unemployment rate has been stabilizing after a rise in 2016. It is expected to have reached 5.6 per cent in 2017, with the total number of unemployed exceeding 192 million persons.

“Unemployment has stabilized last year and we can look forward this year to some small improvement in overall unemployment. But let’s be clear: we are stabilizing at a very high level, 192 million people without work in the world. That is a frighteningly high figure.”

“Vulnerable employment remains the fate of a very high proportion of the global workforce, particularly in the developing world as one would expect. We are not progressing in the elimination of working poverty.”

“We need to look at the longer term trends. We know that the global workforce is getting older. Now what does that mean? What does that mean for our social protection, our pension systems? What does that mean for our re-skilling of workers, throughout their working life? What does it mean for older workers who are probably going to have to stay in work longer?”

“We know that it’s going to be the services sector, which is the major generator of work in the future. Unfortunately that service sector – very heterogeneous – is where we find a lot of low-quality jobs. We find some very good jobs, but a lot of low quality jobs as well. And if it’s going to be services rather than the manufacturing sector which is going to generate jobs in the future, I think we need to focus very, very closely on what’s going on in that service sector.”
