Here's how many are UNEMPLOYED around the world

In the current context of economic instability, young men and women face increasing uncertainty in their hopes of finding a decent job.

There is no doubt that the global economic crisis has further exposed the fragility of youth in the labour market.

At the end of 2010, there were an estimated 75.1 million young people in the world struggling to find work - 4.6 million more than in 2007.

Between 2008 and 2009, the number of unemployed youth increased by an unprecedented 4.5 million, according to the International Labour Office.

Let us take a look at the global unemployment rate.
