Short-term labour market outlook and key challenges in G20 countries
Source: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
From the report:
The purpose of this note is threefold: (i) to provide an update of the most recent employment and labour market developments; (ii) to highlight selected key structural issues in G20 labour markets and the policy challenges to address them; and (iii) to present key youth labour market outcomes.
As indicated in the IMF World Economic Outlook (April 2012) and in the forthcoming OECD Economic Outlook projections, the short-term economic prospects have improved relative to the situation prevailing in late 2011, but indicators still suggest a fragile recovery.

The jobs crisis is also bearing negatively on consumer demand and on household behaviour, putting additional pressures on the recovery.
