Global unemployment rises amid AI growth

The global youth unemployment rate is projected to rise to 12.4% in 2025, with the most significant increases occurring in high-income economies. This trend is largely attributed to the impacts of artificial intelligence, which puts approximately 5.6 million young people at risk of losing their jobs. The rate is expected to remain stable at 12.3% in 2026 and 2027. Reports indicate that technology, especially artificial intelligence, is negatively affecting job opportunities, leading to a decline in traditional roles in management, services, and industry. Challenges are particularly acute in Arab countries and North Africa, which record the highest youth unemployment rates—26.2% and 22.6% respectively in 2025. The report calls for measures to strengthen education and training, as well as to enhance labor rights protections, in order to ensure decent employment opportunities for youth amid rapid technological change.
