The Gen-Z Unemployment Crisis Explained (Level 1)

Many young people around the world cannot find jobs. A new report from the International Labour Organization (ILO) says the problem is getting worse. About 67 million young people aged 15 to 24 are unemployed. That is 12.4 percent. The number went up by 2 million in two years. The report also says that one in four young people are not working or studying. There are several reasons. The world economy is weak because of wars and trade problems. Also, many jobs for beginners now ask for experience. And new technology like AI is taking some entry-level jobs. Young people are four times more likely to be unemployed than adults. Governments must find ways to help them.
