This 2017, the number of jobless people in the world is expected to rise by 3.4 million.
But according to International Labor Organization, this is just a "modest" increase in global unemployment from 5.7 to 5.8 percent.
This year's forecast of unemployed people around the world will be 201.1 million with an additional rise of 2.7 million next year according to World Employment and Social Outlook – Trends 2017 (WESO).
Last year, there are 197.7 million jobless in the world.
Of the 201.1 million jobless in 2017, 16.1 million will come from developing countries, 147 million from emerging countries, and 37.9 million from developed countries.
