GROWTH WITH SOCIAL JUSTICE: TIME FOR A NEW ERA

More than 200 million people are officially unemployed worldwide, including nearly 80 million young women and men eager to secure their first job. Both figures are at their highest points ever, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. The number of workers in vulnerable employment – 1.5 billion (around half of the worldÂ's labour force) – and persons working but surviving on less than US$2.00 per day – 1.2 billion – is on the rise again.
