The world needs to create about 200 million jobs to reach full employment.

That’s one finding from a new report released Friday by the International Labor Organization and the World Bank. The two groups, based on a request from the Group of 20 advanced and developing economies, are unveiling a database that tallies policy responses to the financial crisis and global economic downturn. The site includes data from 77 countries representing 89% of global GDP and 86% of the global labor force, reviewing their growth and employment policies. (The sample includes 22 high-income countries and 55 low-income and middle-income countries.)

The employment tally found that the world lost 27 million jobs between 2007 and the height of the crisis in 2009. But labor force growth adds about 40 million people to the global labor market each year, and overall economic growth — even before the crisis — hadn’t been strong enough to absorb them. That created a long-run jobs gap of 177 million, on top of the 27 million jobs lost in the downturn.
