Understanding Structural Unemployment in One Minute: Definition, Explanation, Examples and Causes

Показать описание
Structural unemployment occurs when there's an imbalance between the skills employers are interested in and the skills potential employees can offer.

A good example of structural unemployment would be let's say the effects of a coal mine closing down. Other examples pertain to technology, worker relocation issues and the list could go on and on.

Identifying the causes is the easy part (although that can sometimes be extremely complicated as well), the question is what can be done to get out of the structural unemployment dilemma?

Unlike cyclical unemployment that occurs after let's say a recession, structural unemployment can end up representing an extremely tricky long-term problem.

By understanding the definition and also explanation of structural unemployment provided in this video, you'll be able to approach the many debates about this topic in a level-headed manner.

Technological unemployment creates a wide spread structural unemployment that is deflationary. Deflation tends to increase unemployment in part by way of "minimum wage" & the prevalence of debt and the difficulty of restructuring debt to compensate for deflationary pressure. Any business that is paying off debt used to buy capital will find its debt increasingly difficult to pay-off in deflationary circumstances. Margins are constantly squeezed at a heavily indebted company selling its product into a market suffering deflation.
