Unemployment and the status of the economy can be influenced by a country through
for example fiscal policy. Furthermore, the monetary authority of a country like
the central bank could influence the availability and cost for money through its monetary
policy.
In addition to theories of unemployment, there are a few categorizations of
unemployment that are used to more precisely model the effects of unemployment
within the economic system. Some of the main types of unemployment
include structural unemployment and frictional unemployment, as well as cyclical
unemployment, involuntary unemployment, and classical unemployment. Structural
unemployment focuses on foundational problems in the economy and inefficiencies
inherent in labor markets, including a mismatch between the supply and demand of
laborers with necessary skill sets. Structural arguments emphasize causes and
solutions related to disruptive technologies and globalization. Discussions of frictional
unemployment focus on voluntary decisions to work based on each individuals'
valuation of their own work and how that compares to current wage rates plus the time
and effort required to find a job. Causes and solutions for frictional unemployment often
address job entry threshold and wage rates.
One hundred and seventy-two million people globally or 5% of the reported workforce of
the world were without a job in 2018 according to the International Labour
Organization (ILO).[5]
Because of the difficulty to measure the unemployment rate by for example using
surveys like in the United States of America (USA) or through registered unemployed
citizens like in some European countries, statistical figures like the employment-to-
population ratio could be better suited to evaluate the status of the labor force and
the economy if they would be based on people who are registered as for
example taxpayer.[6]
