But growth is also slowing in China and India, which together account for more than one-third of the world’s population. Unemployment rates are high, especially in the US and Western Europe, and especially among the young and those nearing the end of their careers (but who are still expected to live for decades).
从诸多方面看，如今经济增长不如历史正常水平。欧洲大部、日本和美国的颓势相当明显。但人口总和相当于世界总数三分之一强的中国和印度也在减速。失业率高企，特别是美国和西欧，而年轻人和接近退休年龄（但还有几十年寿命）者又是重灾区。更令人担心的是，许多失业者会沦为长期失业者。
