  英译汉

  The global youth unemployment rate has reached its highest level on record, and is expected to increase through 2010, the International Labour Organization (ILO) says in a new report that was issued to coincide with the launch of the UN International Youth Year.

  The report: ILO Global Employment Trends for Youth 2010 says that of some 620 million economically active youth aged 15 to 24 years, 81 million were unemployed at the end of 2009-- the highest number ever. This is 7.8 million more than the global number in 2007. The youth unemployment rate increased from 11.9 percent in 2007 to 13.0 percent in 2009.

  The global youth unemployment rate is expected to continue its increase through 2010, to 13.1 per cent, followed by a moderate decline to 12.7 per cent in 2011. The report also points out that the unemployment rates of youth have proven to be more sensitive to the crisis than the rates of adults and that the recovery of the job market for young men and women is likely to lag behind that of adults.

  It adds that these trends will have “significant consequences for young people as upcoming cohorts of new entrants join the ranks of the already unemployed" and warns of the "risk of a crisis legacy of a „lost generation‟comprised of young people who have dropped out of the labour market, having lost all hope of being able to work for a decent living".

  The ILO report points out that in developing economies, youth are more vulnerable to underemployment and poverty.

  在“联合国国际青年年”发起之际,国际劳工组织发布了一份新的报告,指出全球青年失业率已创历史新高,在 2010 年还将继续攀升。

  这份名为《2010 年全球青年就业形势展望》报告指出,截止到 2009 年底,在全球约6.2 亿青年(定义为 15-24 岁年龄段、经济上十分活跃的群体)中,失业人数达到创纪录的 8100 万人,比 2007 年全球失业青年人数多了 780 万人,青年失业率从 2007 年的 11.9%上升至 2009 年的 13.0%。

  据预测,全球青年失业率在 2010 年将攀升至 13.1%,随后会有所放缓,到 2011 年下降至 12.7%。该报告同时指出,事实证明,危机对青年失业率的影响要大于对成年失业率的影响,而此次危机后青年就业市场的复苏很可能会滞后于成年就业市场的复苏。该报告还指出,随着更多的青年人不断加入到青年失业大军中,上述趋势对青年人将会造成严重影响。该报告警告称,此次危机将会产生危机后遗症,即催生新的“失落的一代”:大批失业青年对生活开始感到绝望。

  这份国际劳工组织发布的报告还指出,在发展中国家,青年更容易受到就业不足和贫困的影响。
