Unemployment Theory
Unemployment Theory explores the reasons behind joblessness in an economy. It examines various types of unemployment, such as frictional, structural, and cyclical unemployment. Frictional unemployment occurs when individuals are temporarily between jobs, while structural unemployment arises from changes in the economy that make certain skills obsolete. Cyclical unemployment is linked to economic downturns, where demand for labor decreases.
The theory also considers factors influencing unemployment rates, including government policies, labor market dynamics, and economic conditions. Understanding these elements helps policymakers develop strategies to reduce unemployment and improve overall economic stability.
