The International Labour Organisation (ILO) says the number of unemployed people around the world is likely to remain at near record levels this year.



A report by the United Nations agency says in many countries, the jobs market has failed to keep pace with the overall economic revival.



It further states that high unemployment is holding back economic recovery.



The report says young people have been the most affected by unemployment.
