An extra 25 million people around the world could become unemployed as the coronavirus ravages the global economy, the International Labour Organisation has warned, APA reports.
This worst-case scenario would be more severe than the 22m extra jobless in the financial crisis.
It represents a rise of more than 13pc in the total number out of work, which currently stands at 188m worldwide - potentially taking the figure to more than 212m.
The precise impact depends on the scale of the economic carnage, with a low-impact scenario increasing unemployment by more than 5m, and a mid-range hit hiking the numbers by 13m.
