Unemployment is the world's fastest-rising worry, a BBC World Service survey covering 11,000 people in 23 countries suggests.
英国广播公司一项涉及23个国家11000人的调查显示，失业是世界上上升最快的担忧。
The annual poll, called The World Speaks, gave people a list of concerns and asked which they had discussed with friends or family in the past month.
Corruption and poverty still ranked the highest, but unemployment was mentioned by 18% - six times the rate citing it in the first survey in 2009.
The poll was carried out by Globescan.
The growth in concern was found across all countries surveyed, although corruption emerged as the most talked about global concern.
Nearly a quarter of those asked had discussed that topic in some form over the past four weeks.
Young jobless
Next came extreme poverty. One in five had talked about that subject recently.
Issues associated with inflation, such as higher food and energy prices, were on level pegging（势均力敌） with unemployment in third place - with both topics mentioned by 18% of those surveyed.
Concern about joblessness seemed to vary by country.
Top of the list was Spain, where 54% of those sampled said they had discussed unemployment recently, an increase of one-third on the previous year's BBC poll.
Spain is at the heart of the debt crisis in the eurozone and has the highest youth unemployment in the region at greater than 40%.
Ghana, Mexico, Nigeria and Turkey were among the other countries where this topic appeared a particular concern, with a third or more of those sampled saying they had discussed the issue in the month before the survey.
One could speculate that growing concern about the lack of jobs is linked to current economic worries, such as financial problems for euro currency and the resulting slowdown of major economies.
But there is no certainty about this.
The first annual survey published in 2009 coincided with possibly even greater economic global turbulence（骚乱，动荡） linked to the collapse of the US investment bank Lehman Brothers.
Corruption and poverty emerge as hardy perennials of global debate.
All three annual surveys carried out so far have shown these topics to be near the top of the list.
