75% of the World in Insecure Employment

 

Eastleigh, Hampshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/18/2015 -- The UN agency, the International Labour Organization (ILO), has recently released a report suggesting that up to 75% of workers in the world are not in stable employment. It also goes further to suggest that this widespread insecurity could be hurting the global economy. The report looked at 180 countries and purported to cover 84% of the world's pool of labour. Despite the rhetoric of a growing economy some figures also estimate that 201 million people are currently unemployed, a number which is 30 million higher than 2008 when the world went into recession.

The implications of these figures will undoubtedly be crucial to the shaping of the future employment market. They could play an instrumental role in determining the immediate and upcoming working conditions of employees. With most of the world in unstable employment, both employers and employees will be cautious about how this could impact their daily life.
