   The Economist calculates that around the world almost 290 million 15- to 24-year-olds are neither working nor studying: almost a quarter. of the planet’s youth. On the other hand, many of the "employed" young have only informal and 【C1】______jobs. In rich countries more than a third, on average, are on temporary contracts which make it hard to 【C2】______ skills. In poorer ones, according to the World Bank, a fifth are unpaid family labourers or work in the informal economy. All in all, nearly half of the world’s young people are either outside the formal economy or contributing less 【C3】______than they could.
   What has caused this 【C4】______ of joblessness? Young people have long had a raw deal in the labour market. Two things make the problem more 【C5】______ now. The financial crisis and its consequence had an unusually big effect on them. Many employers 【C6】______ the newest hires first, so a recession raises youth joblessness disproportionately.
   Second, the emerging economies that have the largest and fastest-growing populations of young people also have the 【C7】______ labour markets. Almost half of the world’s young people live in South Asia, the Middle East and Africa. They also have the highest share of young people out of work or in the informal sector.
   In rich countries with generous welfare states this 【C8】______ a heavy burden on taxpayers. One estimate suggests that, last year, the economic loss from disengaged young people in Europe  【C9】______ to $153 billion, or more than 1% of GDP. And failure to employ the young not only  【C10】______ growth today. It also threatens it tomorrow.
【C8】
选项
答案G
解析 空格所在句缺少谓语动词。this指代大量年轻人失业的问题，从generous welfare和taxpayers可看出，社会福利好的国家会给失业者提供补助，这些补助源自纳税人交的税，失业率越高，纳税人的经济负担就会越大。词库中的imposes“强加于”符合要求。虽然lay“使处于(某种状态)”也可用于lay burden on sb．的搭配，但由于主语是this，谓语动词需要用第三人称单数形式，故排除。
