Former US president Barack Obama said
a shortage of jobs was a factor in terrorism during a speech in
Milan on Tuesday. "Technology is creating high capital intensity
in many economic sectors and less demand for labour and this
will become a problem in the advanced world," he said. "This is
one of the things that worries me most. I am certain that this
is part of the problem that instigates radicalization and
terrorism in many countries of the Middle East and south Asia.
If many young people are unemployed they will channel their
energies in an unhealthy way".
