It reveals that while the global youth unemployment rate has decreased to 13% in 2023, the situation remains precarious for many young people, particularly young women. The report emphasizes the importance of addressing the high rates of youth not in education, employment, or training (NEET), which stand at 20.4%. The findings indicate that recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic has been uneven, with certain regions, such as the Arab States and East Asia, experiencing higher unemployment rates than pre-pandemic levels. The report also highlights the growing casualization of work and the widening gap between the number of graduates and available jobs. It calls for urgent action to combat inequalities and improve access to decent work, particularly for disadvantaged youth. The report concludes with a call for collaborative efforts from governments, employers, and civil society to create a supportive environment for youth employment and to ensure that young people can thrive in the labor market. \\ \\ (Generated with the help of GPT-4) \\ =====Additional Viewpoints===== Categories: {{tag>2024_publication_year}} | {{tag>English_publication_language}} | {{tag>Global_geographic_scope}} | {{tag>youth_employment}} | {{tag>NEET_status}} | {{tag>gender_gaps}} | {{tag>labor_market_recovery}} | {{tag>educational_attainment}} | {{tag>job_quality}} | {{tag>economic_policies}} | {{tag>social_protection}} | {{tag>inequalities}} | {{tag>future_job_trends}} ~~DISCUSSION~~
