There are 100 million new entrants into the labour market each year. Up to 90 percent in some regions are in the informal economy. 180 million kids are engaged in the worst forms of child labour. Put it all together and it is not only morally unacceptable, but politically dangerous” MenWorldYearsChildrenEnoughKidsTogetherFormPovertyMillionsEconomyWorstDangerousPercentMen And WomenLaborThirdsExtremesBillionsEngagedLabourRegionsUnemployedWorkforceExtreme PovertyChild LabourDecent Work Author:Juan Somavia
