Social stability under threat as frustrations spark global wave of youth-led protests
-
Young people across Asia are struggling to find good jobs, with many stuck in low-productivity work that the World Bank warns could strain social stability as frustrations fuel a global wave of youth-led protests.
The bank highlighted a persistent gap between younger and more experienced workers across several Asian economies in a regional economic update released on Oct 7, noting that one in seven young people in China and Indonesia are unemployed.
It warned that the share of people now vulnerable to falling into poverty is now larger than the middle class in most countries.
