The Gospel of Growth
When the G-20 meets in Mexico, on June 18-19, its challenge will be to shift public perceptions to an optimistic mindset of growth and stability. The world needs resolute action to address the uncertainty confronting the global economy and chart a path toward self-sustaining recovery and strong job creation.
CANBERRA/SEOUL – Almost four years after the start of the global financial crisis, the world economy remains fragile and unemployment is unacceptably high. There are roughly 200 million unemployed people worldwide, including nearly 75 million young people. Growth is weakening in many countries, risks are mounting, and uncertainty has intensified, owing especially to events in Europe. Only swift and sustained recovery can stem the rise in the human cost of economic stagnation.
