Global Unemployment Rate

🤔How is the unemployment rate related to sustainable development?

“Unemployment declines only when the output growth exceeds the full labor productivity in the economy. Thus, if the steadily increasing GDP growth accelerates a sharp unemployment fall, the growth is progressing towards sustainability”*. *Springer

👉🏽One of the global targets is to “Sustain per capita economic growth in accordance with national circumstances and at least 7% gross domestic product growth per annum in the least developed countries”*. *UN

🔜What actions can help in reaching that target?

🟣Providing youth better opportunities

Building dynamic, sustainable, innovative and people-centred economies

🟣Implementing adequate health and safety measures

Creating supportive working environments
