Despite a slowing global economy, the labor market remained stable in 2024, with a global unemployment rate of 5%. Employment growth was driven by an increasing workforce, although youth unemployment remained high at 12.6%.

The ILO calls for investments in training and infrastructure to boost these sectors.
