In 2024, the rate stabilized at around 5.2 percent, but due to a slowdown in the world economy, it is projected to rise to about 5.3% in 2025.

Youth unemployment is roughly three times higher than among adults, at around 15%.

In 2023, about 58% of the world’s employed population worked in the informal sector.

By 2024, women’s average wages remained about 20% lower than men’s.

The female labor force participation rate stands at around 61%, compared to about 90% for men.
