全球金融危机爆发以来，发达国家失业率迅速上升，失业问题成为发达国家经济复苏进程中面临的最主要挑战。发达经济体失业率高居不下主要表现为因经济衰退而产生的周期性失业以及因全球化带来的结构性失业。发达国家采取的经济刺激政策虽然在一定程度上促进了经济的复苏，但在促进就业方面的效果不甚理想。高失业会伴随发达国家的经济结构性问题持续较长时间，并延后发达国家退出刺激经济政策的时间，这会增加新兴市场经济体通货膨胀和资产价格泡沫风险。
Unemployment rate has been increasing rapidly in advanced economies since the eruption of global financial crisis，and becoming the major challenges for policy makers. Business cycle caused by financial crisis and structural problems caused by globalization contributed to the high unemployment rate. Stimulus policy’s role is weakened in term of reducing jobless in the environment of globalization. Owing to structural problems，unemployment rate will stay at high level for long time，and this will delay the exit of stimulus packages and spread asset bubble risks to emerging markets.
