150 million jobless, global study says
New York Times
GENEVA -- At least 150 million people worldwide
are jobless, and this number is expected to rise
by millions before the end of the year, the
International Labor Organization said Wednesday.
At least 10 million people have joined the
unemployed this year because of the financial
crisis in Asia, the ILO said in issuing its World
Employment Report, 1998-99.
By year's end, as many as 12 million more could be
unemployed, mostly in Asia, said Rashid Amjad, the
report's author. The newly released global jobless
numbers are up substantially from the previous ILO
compilation in 1996-97, which listed 128 million
jobless.
Among the unemployed are an estimated 60 million
people between the ages of 15 and 24, who are
searching for work but cannot find it, said the
study by the ILO, a U.N. agency based in Geneva.
Only labor markets in the United States and, to a
lesser extent, the European Union, benefited from
economic growth in the first half of 1998, the
258-page report said.
