INTRODUCTION

The Global Employment Trends 2014 Ekkehard Ernst Over 200 million people are unemployed in the world, and many have dropped out the labour market, too discouraged to even look for a job. Harshly hit are young people, whose unemployment rate is three times the adult rate. ILO's economist Christian Viegelahn, co-author of the 2014 edition of the Global Employment Trends report, warns of a gloomy outlook for jobs in 2014.
