Unemployment rates in most regions of the world have not changed significantly between 2005 and 2006, the report notes, adding that the decline is most significant in developed economies and the European Union, where the Unemployment reached 6.2% after declining 0.6 points from this period.
The unemployment rate remained the lowest in East Asia 3, 6%, which amounted to 5.2% in South Asia and 6.6% in South-Eastern Asia and Pacific .
Unemployment in the Middle East and North Africa remained the world’s highest at 12.2% in 2006. The sub-Saharan Africa region has the second highest rate of unemployment the highest in the world at 9.8% and the highest proportion of working poor, says the ILO report.
According to the report, between 2001 and 2006, the number of working poor living below the poverty line of one dollar per day per person has declined everywhere except in Sub-Saharan Africa where he aumgenté 14 million, and America America and the Caribbean and the Middle East and North Africa where it has remained more or less unchanged.
“Ten years of rapid growth had only a slight impact - and a handful of countries only - the number of workers who live in poverty with their families,” said ILO Director-General Juan Somavia, cited by the report.
“And even if that growth should continue in 2007, serious concerns remain about the prospects for decent job creation and reducing working poverty”, said Somavia.
