Working Poverty and Youth Unemployment

Geoff Riley

5th September 2016

Over 150 million younger workers in emerging and developing countries are suffering from working poverty - in other words they have work but it does not pay enough to lift them out of poverty - little wonder that the incentive to leave a region/country in search of better-paid and perhaps more secure work is strong.

This short video from the International Labour Organisation focuses on the key employment challenges facing younger workers.
