Abstract

L'Organisation Internationale du Travail (OIT) constatait récemment que la crise économique a subitement mis fin au déclin progressif du taux de chômage des jeunes observé entre 2002 et 2007 (OIT, 2012). De manière globale, le taux de chômage mondial des jeunes est revenu au taux observé au pire de la crise, en 2009 (OIT, 2012). De 12,6% en 2011, le taux de chômage des jeunes devrait avoisiner les 12,7% en 2012 (Soit plus qu'en 2007). Ceci représente près de 75 millions de jeunes chômeurs dans le monde (Soit une augmentation de plus de 4 millions depuis 2007) et presque trois fois le taux de chômage des adultes (OIT, 2008). Les projections à moyen terme de l'OIT (2012-2016) indiquent que peu d'amélioration est attendue pour les jeunes sur le marché du travail puisque le taux de chômage des jeunes devrait demeurer à un niveau aussi élevé jusqu'en 2016 (OIT, 2012). Il est également intéressant de constater que les jeunes constituent 43,7% de la population mondiale des chômeurs, alors qu'ils ne constituent que 25% de la population mondiale des travailleurs. Plus inquiétant encore, l'OIT souligne que plus d'un tiers de la population mondiale des jeunes chômeurs a totalement abandonné sa recherche d'emploi, découragé par la crise, et vit actuellement sous le seuil de pauvreté fixé à 2 Dollars US par jour.
