Jobs In Peril

From the creator

United Nations, New York, 27 February 2012 - "Youth unemployment is on the rise across the globe due to the current economic and financial crisis. Some 81 million young people are jobless and millions more struggle in menial jobs. In some parts of the world, this uncertainty is causing political turmoil as protests and demonstrations continue to grow, threatening world stability and security. In this context, the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) is organizing a special event "Breaking new ground: Partnerships for more and better jobs for youth", to take place on Monday, 27 February 2012. The event will seek to strengthen the partnership between governments, the private sector and the philanthropic community in working towards promoting youth employment worldwide."
