"The International Labour Organisation's (ILO) annual "World of Work Report", predicted that the intensification of extremes between the wealthy and poor continues to widen in the European Union where it is the highest in the world, and that this "gap is the major trigger for social unrest." [15]"
Could this be rephrased? At the moment it doesn't make it clear enough that the member countries of European Union in general are in fact the most equal in the world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gini_Coefficient_World_CIA_Report_2009.svg) but it's the growing inequality (not the amount of inequality as such) that potentially triggers social unrest - point that is made clear in the article which this passage refers to.
It's also a bit strange to speak about European Union as if it would be one country as the differences between members of the European Union are huge, as the original article also states. I'm not a native speaker so I'm not the best person to do any editing on the article, but maybe someone else would have the time to look into it.
