South Africa had the world's highest unemployment rate in 2022, reaching 29.2% according to the World Population Review.

Kosovo had the second-highest unemployment rate at 26.2%, followed by Djibouti at 26.1%. Palestine recorded unemployment at 25.9%, Equatorial Guinea at 25%, and Botswana at 24.9%.

The report explains that unemployment is a lagging indicator. This means that unemployment rates respond (by rising and falling) to changes in economic conditions rather than influencing or predicting them.

For example, when the economy grows at a healthy rate, the job market flourishes, and unemployment falls. However, when the economy experiences a recession or other turbulence, the job market tends to shrink, and unemployment rises in response.

Below is a list of the 10 countries with the highest unemployment rates in the world in 2022:

1. South Africa - 29.2%
2. Kosovo - 26.2%
3. Djibouti - 26.1%
