2   UNEMPLOYMENT IN UK
3            Introduction
 Unemployment is an economic indicator that refers to the
  number or proportion of pe0ple in an economy who are
  willing and able to work, but are unable to get a job; a
  person in this situation is said to be unemployed. People
  who are not willing or able to work, for whatever reason,
  are “economically inactive” and do not count towards
  unemployment figures
 High levels of unemployment are usually of a typical of a
  struggling economy, where labour supply is outstripping
  demand from employers. When economy has high
  unemployment, it is not using its economic resources in
  the best possible way
4          Types of Unemployment
Economics distinguish a number of types of unemployment

• Cyclical unemployment is brought about by the vagaries of
  the business cycle
• Structural unemployment is brought about by changes in
  the economy or the labour market, when the jobs available
  do not fit the workforce’s skills
• Frictional unemployment is the phenomenon of people
  being “between jobs”
• Seasonal unemployment is linked to certain types of
  seasonal jobs, such as farm work and construction
5                        History
 The history of unemployment in the UK is central to both the
  economic and social history of the country.
 The 1950s and 1960s saw a very rate of unemployment (around 3 per
  cent on average) as result of the ‘post war boom”. Serviceman during
  the second world war had been promised full employment after victory,
  and no government of the period was prepared to break this pledge.
  Technological advance , a stable international trade environment, the
  success of Keynesian economics and the stability of the Phillips Curve
  (which postulated a relationship between high inflation and high
  unemployment) created a situation which did approach full
  employment – although of course, at the time the majority of women
  remained in the category of the “ economically inactive”.
 Unemployment continued to rise and official figures published in
  October 2011 showed that for the June to August quarter, 2.57 million
  people were unemployed – the highest since 1994.
6             Background
 The trend of rising unemployment continued through the last
  quarter of 2011 and the beginning of 2012, but there were
  increasing signs of stabilisation in the labour market and by
  March 2012, although unemployment showed a rise of 28,000
  compared to the previous quarter, this was 5,000 below the
  headline figure of the previous month.
 The figures published in April 2012 showed the continuing rise in
  employment was coupled with a fall in unemployment of 35,000
  on the quarter, to 2.65 million. This is dispute the fact there were
  more people in the labour market, with a fall in inactivity of
  25,000.
 Employment Minister, Chris Grayling, said that whilst any fall in
  unemployment was very welcome , he remained “cautious” about
  the next few months in light of the continuing economic
  challenges.
7                 Controversies
 Throughout history , policy- makers have from time to time taken the
    view that the macroeconomic benefits of high unemployment
    outweigh its economic and social costs . This was the case during the
    early 1980s. Most of that time, however, governments are unwilling to
    permit high unemployment , due to demonstrated social effects, the
    economic underperformance it reflects and the public cost in terms of
    benefit payments it demands. Nevertheless, as an aggregate figure the “
    headline” unemployment figure and rate can only tell part of the story.
    Structural differences between the regions of the UK have often meant
    that a nationwide figure masks considerably higher than in the
    prosperous South East and London. Even within regions, there are
    local pockets of high unemployment . Many towns remain dominated
    by a small number of large employers: when a locally significant
    business closes, such as the mines during the 1980s or Rover’s Long
    bridge plant in Birmingham more recently, the effect can be
    devastating
8            Parties
 At present , there are two principal measures of
 unemployment used by the Government :the
 International Labour Organisation(ILO) measure ( the
 UK’s version being known as the Labour force Survey
 or LFS unemployment); and the Claimant Count . The
 former is based on a survey of 57,000 households, and
 classifies participants as employed, unemployed or
 economically inactive on the basis of work done in the
 previous work. The letter is based on the numbers
 claiming unemployment related benefits.
9               Causes
 Unemployment is cause by many factors in a modern
 market economy. It can be caused by rapid technological
 change, business cycle or recessions , seasonal factors in
 some industries particularly such as changes n tastes and
 climatic conditions which affects demand for certain
 products and services, individual perceptions and
 willingness to work and search for jobs, their values and
 attitudes towards some jobs and about employers,
 accessibility for retraining and acquisition of work skills,
 willingness and perception of unemployed of the benefits
 of training and the possibility for them to get a job after the
 training even though they have a chance to get a job,
 discrimination in the workplace based on race , colour,
 religion, ethnicity, age and class
10               Conflict causes
 Unemployment in a particular period can be
 combination of caused by social factors and how the
 economy as a whole works and also due to the
 subjective individual factors. In a sociological point of
 view according to functionalist and conflict theorists
 the unemployment is caused primarily by the social
 factors than by the individual factors. Individuals
 construct their own social constructs and perception
 and they can be subjective in their behavior and
 therefore can become unemployed even though the
 actual condition they can get a job in the job market.
11          Recommendation
 This complete lack of common sense seems to stem from
 overly rigid processes that presume everyone should be,
 and will be, working in the same pattern. I suggest that the
 real solution to this has to be people focused. Stop tying up
 Jobcentre Plus staff and job seekers in reams of paperwork.
 Free up staff to use their own common sense, their own
 local knowledge of work and , crucially, their own
 judgement in each individual case. The country needs
 temps, and temping can be a fantastic choice – be it a way
 to get back into work after children , or after a period of
 unemployment. But , as it stands , we are squandering the
 talents of part of our workforce because bureaucracy does
 not allow for creativity or flexibility.
