Global unemployment rising - what's to be done?

Agbiz - Not only in South Africa, but right across the world, unemployment and jobless recovery is a topic discussed by policy makers and business decision-makers. The focus is largely on understanding and solving the challenge of creating jobs as economic growth projections are continuously revised downwards. Between 2012 and 2013 a further 5 million jobs were sheds, adding to the already 202 million unemployed around the world.
 
The main question is how to go about ensuring that the current trend does not lead to the expected shedding of a further 13 million people by 2018.
