INTRODUCTION
Urgency of research work. One of the most challenging social problems currently facing us is unemployment. Unemployment is a key measure of economic health. It is a major factor in determining how healthy an economy is. An unemployed individual is both unproductive and a drain on society’s resources. Unemployment is a powerful statistic that shapes government policy and personal decisions. The government keeps a close eye on the unemployment rate. Unemployment occurs when a person is able and willing to work but currently without work.
1.1 The notion of unemployment
What is unemployment? The answer to this question may seem obvious: an unemployed person is someone who does not have a job. But as economists we need to be precise and careful in our definition of economic categories. If you are in full-time education, for example, you do not have a full-time job in the usual sense of the word - i.e. you are not in full-time paid employment. And there is good reason: you are studying. Hence you are not available for work.
1.2 Types of unemployment
There are many different ways of classifying unemployment, and no single classification can be regarded as definitive or correct. According to one commentator it has been estimated that, as a result of all of these different classifications, no fewer than seventy different types of unemployment have been referred to in the literature on the subject.
