Unemployment - lack of work at the country's active population.The concept of unemployment is expressed as a percentage of the number of unemployed to the active working population.Unemployed people are one of the characteristics of a market economy.Their number increases significantly during the crisis and declines in periods of boom.It should be noted that a moderate unemployment rate is normal and even necessary phenomenon for economic growth.This kind of reserve freedom labor which may subsequently be useful, for example, when expanding production.
What are the causes of unemployment?Why is healthy and capable of working activity of people are forced to stay at home?Give a definite answer to these questions is quite difficult.Causes of unemployment may be lurking in the level of economic development, and personally for each citizen of the country need to go to work.Recently, when human labor power is increasingly replaced by computer technology, the number of unemployed people is increasing.For example, its staff substantially reduced the printing, as is now the text typed with the help of computer equipment.As a result, the unemployment rate in this area has increased by several times.Causes of unemployment are associated with temporary changes in the level of production of goods in various industries, as well as economic stagnation, depression and falls.Important role and brings the definition of remuneration.In the case where the minimum size is increased labor, production costs increase significantly, therefore, it is necessary to reduce the workforce.As mentioned above, the causes of unemployment can be linked directly to a person.For example, as it relates to the health of the labor force, but deliberately did not want to work, preferring a quiet and measured life without permanent means of subsistence.It is not always possible to find a job, and for the reason that the options considered have low wages, require certain skills that a person is not currently owned.
Currently, the unemployment rate in relation to the activity of the working population is not very large.Each year, it varies depending on the state and other indicators of economy.Statistics of unemployment shows that in recent years a significant increase in the number of unemployed was observed.So, as of June 2011 in the employment services of the Russian Federation registered 1,487,575 people.The total number of unemployed is about 5.5 million people, in percentage - 7.2% of the total number of the working population.Compared to Europe, where the figure is as high as 9.9%.Most of the unemployed observed in small towns and rural areas.In large urban acute this problem is not.The number of unemployed in the country also has been mixed.So, least of all non-performing in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but most of all there are the Caucasus and the Republic of Tyva.
Unemployment is not a good indicator of the economy.It is a clear proof of the fact that a certain number of people, for whatever reason, can not get a job, and, accordingly, their income becomes very low.In recent years, the Russian government is trying to at least a little to solve the problem of providing the population with jobs, thereby reducing unemployment.For example, in the nearest future to create all the conditions for professional training of employees in connection with the modernization of production, supporting the unemployed starting a business, introduction to the work of persons with disabilities, parents with many children and parents with children with disabilities.
