Global youth unemployment rises amid sluggish job creation and looming AI risk, UN labour agency says

Global youth unemployment increased in 2025 as weaker economic growth, geopolitical tensions and sluggish job creation made it harder for young people to find work, the International Labour Organization (ILO) said on Wednesday, warning that AI could add to mounting labour market pressures. The global unemployment rate among 15-to-24-year-olds rose to 12.4% last year from 12.3% in 2023, equivalent to 67-million 15-to-24-year-olds worldwide, according to a new report by the UN labour agency.
