World Bank Warns of 800 Million Job Shortfall in Developing Economies by 2038
The World Bank warns that developing economies may face an 800 million job shortfall over the next 15 years as 1.2 billion young people enter the workforce. President Ajay Banga highlighted challenges including rising debt, climate risks, conflicts, and limited resources that constrain development efforts. Despite mobilizing $230 billion, including $112 billion in private capital, job creation is projected at only 400 million, raising concerns about poverty, migration, and social stability.
