IMF on Unemployment.

Unemployment  has received good attention in the following article
FINANCE & DEVELOPMENT, March 2015, Vol. 52, No. 1, Prakash Loungani 

Our Comments : The following figures in that article seems to suggest that  the youth unemployment is adverse  in parts of Europe and is affecting overall employment whereas USA may be recovering well on employment ; youth unemployment in Greece is as high as nearly 70 %. Italy, Portugal and Spain have all over 50 % youth unemployment. 






Without any risk or responsibility.

The Youth of the World! Its a World of words!!!

IMF  release  of South Africa:
Unemployment remains high at 25.5 percent.

Look at the solution suggested: 

"Given the risks facing the outlook and reduced policy space, (IMF) Directors called for decisive structural reforms to unblock supply-side constraints, lift growth, and rebalance the economy towards exports and investments."

Words! Well prepared draft! Specifics?
