Reports on the crisis scare the reader figures describing unemployment in a particular country.It is clear that people who can not find a source of income, amount to quite a serious problem for the economy as a whole.But the real figures to frighten us even more, because the statistics do not show us the real picture.But this picture is not happy.Yes, and it gives reason not to trust politicians and economists.
Hidden unemployment - is the actual percentage of the unemployed population, which does not take into account the statistics.One clarification - a man who had gone on early retirement (as happens in the West) and rentiers - do not belong to the category of hidden unemployed.It is also important that the person wants to get a job.This category also is attributed freelancers who can not find the orders for the moment.
This type of unemployment is very heavy for those who are under attack.Many people who have education, work experience and the relevant skills can not find work despite the fact that every effort is applied.Hidden unemployment is very hard especially for those who have debts - loans to study, housing or cars.The situation is hard for the economy, because these people spend a little money, which means that businesses are suffering, the economy is not "warmed up" and not growing.
If not conducted a special study to identify the number of the unemployed is really very difficult.Freelance activity is often touted as an independent.In fact, the deterioration of the economic situation freelance workers suffer first.In an effort to save money, the business pays less tasks to outsource, so freelancer is getting harder and harder to get the order.So do not believe that the freelance employment - a panacea.
Among the hidden unemployed also should include those who are forced to work fewer hours than I would like.For example, the factory badly things are going.He appoints a three-day week.Naturally, no one compensates for the workers forced "freedom."And that's not the worst case, there is an alternative - to force the employee to leave in the unpaid leave.It is difficult to legally defend themselves in this situation.
also escape from official statistics of people who do not declare their unemployed status.In some states, for example, in Belarus, there is almost no sense to designate themselves as unemployed if you are applying for skilled labor.The fact that the allowance is not even enough to travel to get to the place required to work on the books.The only sense in the declaration of the status - the desire to change the type of activity and a new profession.But for a woman of their choice is limited, so hidden unemployment among Belarusians is particularly great.
separate question - as to whether the employment of people who are engaged in traditional activities, such as fishing or hunting, manufacturing ethnic goods for tourists?The approaches may be different, accordingly, such people are considered to be either not considered hidden unemployed.
also those who have lost hope of finding a suitable job, remain outside the statistics.Often these people include parents or spouse (wife).Many women are forced to remain housewives, because they can not find a decent job, especially if they live in small towns, where there is a problem with any employment.They also do not take into account, if not carried out a special investigation.Women, especially with small children, poorly recruit.They suffer more and when there are other types of unemployment.Therefore, women should carefully prepare financially for pregnancy and maternity leave, to not feel "marginalized."If prepared correctly, the hidden unemployment is not terrible.
