Nair and Diplomatic Courier Discuss Unemployed Global Youth
WASHINGTON, DC: The Diplomatic Courier is pleased to feature Generation "U": The Plight of Unemployed Global Youth," by Arun S. Nair, international trade specialist, in Volume 6, Issue 5 of the magazine.
"In the future, it will be the nature of the ‘human capital' that will be the deciding factor in the ranking of nations on the basis of their real wealth. This means a high level of youth unemployment will not only pull down the productivity of a nation, but also vastly diminish its standing amongst the comity of nations," an excerpt from Nair's article.
"While multinationals compete for global talent, global youth find themselves without hope for employment. The unemployment rate is so dismal-12.7 percent according to the International Labor Organization (ILO)-that some experts have described this as Generation "U" (for Unemployed). Arun S. Nair's article paints a realistic and insightful vision for the state of youth unemployment globally," says Ana C. Rold, Editor-in-Chief, Diplomatic Courier.
