Abstract

The article presents statistical estimates concerning the global stratification of unemployment and underemployment. Regional breakdowns of unemployment are available in the literature, but regionally aggregated information does not fully reveal the global centre-periphery stratification that exists with respect to labour markets. In this article, countries are organized in terms of quintiles of GDP per capita. For each quintile of countries, averages of unemployment, underemployment, women’s economic activity, and child employment are estimated. The available source data are not nearly as complete as would be desirable. Nevertheless, some plausible estimates are possible, which show the extent of global stratification with respect to unemployment and underemployment.
