Global Employment Trends - ILO

The number of jobless worldwide reached nearly 212 million in 2009 following an unprecedented increase of 34 million compared to 2007, on the eve of the global crisis, the International Labor Office (ILO) said in its annual Global Employment Trends report. Based on IMF economic forecasts, the ILO estimates that global unemployment is likely to remain high through 2010. In the Developed Economies and European Union unemployment is projected to increase by an additional 3 million people in 2010, while it will stabilize at present levels, or decline only slightly, in other regions. The ILO also said the number of unemployed youth worldwide increased by 10.2 million in 2009 compared to 2007, the largest hike since 1991. At the same time, the ILO report shows wide variations in the employment impact of the crisis between regions and countries as well as in labor market recovery prospects. The report says that coordinated stimulus measures have averted a far greater social and economic catastrophe; yet millions of women and men around the world are still without a job, unemployment benefits or any viable form of social protection. “As the World Economic Forum gathers at Davos, it is clear that avoiding a jobless recovery is the political priority of today” said ILO Director-General Juan Somavia. “We need the same policy decisiveness that saved banks now applied to save and create jobs and livelihoods of people. This can be done through strong convergence of public policies and private investment.”

Do it now!

Hi Everyone,

I am on a roll today. Three posts in one day! Yes, I have missed you!

Already many opportunities are appearing for me in my life and in business. I took the time to see, feel and believe what I truly wanted this year. And it happening!

What opportunities are you opening yourself up to this year?

What do you really want to happen in your life in 2010?

Have you created your list of REAL wants. Not a wish list, but things you really WANT, can see, taste and truly BELIEVE that you will receive?

If you haven't, then get going!

Allow your self to push beyond your fear and all yourself to see, hear and feel the future you want.

Do you want to start a new business?
Change career?
Visit your favorite destination?
Meet your lifelong partner?
Have x amount saved - in order to be financially successful!

Work out what you want and then open yourself up to take action and seize the opportunities when they come to you!

You deserve it.

There are no regrets!

Hi Everyone,

I was supposed to be participating in today's Trinidad marathon, my
first!! But due to my hamstring injury, this was not to be!! This could
have been a very sad day, but it is a great day! 2 weeks I held a
workshop with two associates and this sparked great interest and we
were contacted for an interview with one of Trinidad's
national newspaper for a feature article. The article came out today
and this has made me smile and helped today be a special day full of
great opportunities and possibilities, rather than one of regret!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for being away for a while, but I have been busy!!

I have had an excellent start to 2010!

I created my resolutions and really took the time to clarity what I really WANTED in 2010! And it is happening!!

On 9th January myself and two associates held a coaching workshop, called Thrive v Survive, we had great attendees and from the participants feedback, they received alot from our time together. Due to this workshop, I was asked if the team could be interviewed!! The article appears in today's Guardian newspaper.

New Year....New Behaviours!

Hello Everyone,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

So, it’s New Year’s resolution time again!!! Or have you given up because they are never achieved?

Have you ever thought about why your New Year’s resolutions are not often achieved? Especially when we have such good intentions:

o Loose weight
o Find a new job
o Change career
o Start a new business
o Get closer to family
o Make more money
o Save more money and the list goes on!!!

So what are we doing wrong?

Are we mad? Possibly!!! Do you know what the definition of madness is? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

How many of us actually think through what behaviours we need to change to achieve these ‘new’ goals?

If for the previous year you have eaten KFC, huge spoonfuls of rice with every meal, snacked on chocolate and chips and exercise only up to Carnival Saturday, why are you surprised you did not loose weight and if you do the same again this year, guess what? The same disappointment you felt this year, will be felt again!! We don’t need a crystal ball to see the outcome!!!

Also, if you intended to save $50,000 for the last year, but you went to all the Carnival fetes, bought clothes, ate out every week and went on vacations, no wonder you have no savings and owe your credit card company $000s.

So what is the answer?

I have found the missing ingredients!!!!!

BEHAVIOURS!!!!!

B old Statements to
E nhance my life
H abits stopped
A nd replaced with new ones
V isible progress leads to
I deal celebrations
O nce the resolutions are made, I need to
U nderstand the role of friends and family who will be
R eliable and supportive and who will help me to
S ucceed

So decide on the behaviours you need to change and let 2010 be your BEST YEAR YET!!!

Live YOUR Passion

Bye for now
