Youth Unemployment

Folks,

Here are some shocking statistics on youth unemployment, as evident on the Asian Development Bank  website:-

>> As many as 200 million: Number of working youth that earn less than US$ 2 a day.

>> 357.7 million: The number of youth globally who are not in education, training or employment. 62% of them are in South Asia (101 million) and East Asia and the Pacific (119.4 million).

>> 536 million: The number of working youth in the developing world who were underemployed in 2010 -- more than half of them live in South Asia (152 million) and East Asia and the Pacific (150 million).

I feel sorry to those who are unemployed. And I pity those earning USD$ 2 a day.
How do you survive with that kind of money?
