Roughly half the world’s population still lives on the equivalent of about US$2 a day. And in too many places, having a job doesn’t guarantee the ability to escape from poverty, the International Labour Organization (ILO) reports*.

A few facts
- Employment growth since 2008 has averaged only 0.1% annually, compared with 0.9% between 2000 and 2007
- Over 60 per cent of all workers lack any kind of employment contract.
- Fewer than 45 per cent of wage and salaried workers are employed on a full-time, permanent basis, and even that share is declining.
- By 2019, more than 212 million people will be out of work, up from the current 201 million
- 600 million new jobs need to be created by 2030, just to keep pace with the growth of the working age population
