UNDP warns 800 million young people face jobless futures
The UNDP warned that 800 million young people may not find work without stronger country action.
What happened
The UN Development Programme said approximately 800 million young people entering labour markets in developing economies over the coming years will not find jobs unless countries act. The warning accompanied the launch of two UNDP initiatives intended to increase investment and employment. The agency’s central concern is the scale of future joblessness among young workers.
Why it matters
Developing economies face a major employment challenge: without action, millions of young people entering the workforce will lack jobs, limiting the benefits of their expanding labour forces.
