7. 自国际劳工组织上次预测以来，全球劳动力市场前景也出现恶化；因此，未来几年，世界大部分地区的劳动力市场很可能仍难以恢复到疫前水平。预计，2022年全球失业人口将达到 2.07 亿，比 2019 年增加大约 2 100 万。经济复苏开始以来，中低收入国家的就业增长趋势仍然大大低于富裕经济体，主要原因是发展中国家疫苗接种率低、财政空间小。一些发展中国家甚至在大流行之前就存在不平等加剧、工作条件差异扩大、社会保障削弱问题，因此这种影响尤其严重。6

The global labour market outlook has also deteriorated since the International Labour Organization’s last projections; a return to pre-pandemic performance is likely to remain elusive for much of the world in the coming years. Global unemployment is projected to stand at 207 million in 2022, surpassing its 2019 level by some 21 million. Since the onset of the recovery, employment growth trends in low- and middle-income countries have remained significantly below those observed in richer economies, owing largely to the lower vaccination rates and tighter fiscal space in developing countries. The impact has been particularly serious for developing nations that experienced higher levels of inequality, more divergent working conditions and weaker social protection systems even before the pandemic. 6
