Takeaways

• 😀 The concept of unemployment is explored in economics, where not everyone without a job is categorized as unemployed. There are specific conditions that must be met.
• 😀 Unemployment can be classified into different types based on time, with three main categories: open unemployment, underemployment, and disguised unemployment.
• 😀 Open unemployment refers to individuals who are actively seeking work but are not employed. These individuals are without a job and still looking for opportunities.
• 😀 Underemployment happens when a person works fewer hours than required for full-time employment. For example, working only a few hours a day or week, despite being capable of working more.
• 😀 Disguised unemployment occurs when individuals are employed but their contribution to the work is minimal or unnecessary. An example is too many workers for a task that could be handled by fewer people.
• 😀 Unemployment can also be analyzed by its causes, which include supply-side imbalances and demand-side factors, leading to various types of unemployment.
• 😀 Frictional unemployment occurs when there's a mismatch between job seekers' skills and employers' needs, often because of lack of specific qualifications or experience.
• 😀 Structural unemployment arises from changes in the economy, such as shifts from agricultural to industrial sectors, where workers may not have the necessary skills for new types of jobs.
• 😀 Technological unemployment is caused by advancements in technology that make certain jobs obsolete. Workers may lack the skills to operate new technology, leading to job loss.
• 😀 Geographic unemployment occurs when workers in rural areas or distant locations find it difficult to relocate to urban areas where more job opportunities exist due to high costs of relocation.
• 😀 Cyclical unemployment is tied to the economic cycle. During recessions or economic downturns, companies reduce their workforce due to decreased demand for goods and services.

Q & A

What is the definition of open unemployment?

Open unemployment, or 'pengangguran terbuka', refers to individuals who are actively seeking a job but have not found one. They are fully available for work and are typically at home, looking for employment.

What distinguishes semi-unemployment from full unemployment?

Semi-unemployment, or 'pengangguran setengah', occurs when individuals work part-time or in jobs that don't fully utilize their skills or time. In contrast, full unemployment refers to those who have no job at all and are actively searching for one.

How does disguised unemployment manifest in the workplace?

Disguised unemployment, or 'pengangguran terselubung', happens when workers are technically employed but their contributions are minimal or redundant. For instance, workers who are part of a team but do not significantly contribute to the work output.

What is frictional unemployment and why does it occur?

Frictional unemployment, or 'pengangguran friksional', arises when there is a mismatch between the job seekers' skills and the employers' requirements. This type of unemployment is often temporary as individuals transition between jobs or search for better opportunities.

How is structural unemployment different from frictional unemployment?

Structural unemployment occurs due to significant changes in the economy's structure, such as shifts from agriculture to industry. Unlike frictional unemployment, which is short-term, structural unemployment is often more persistent because workers lack the necessary skills for new industries.

What role does technology play in technological unemployment?

Technological unemployment happens when advancements in technology lead to the replacement of human labor. Workers who lack the skills to operate new technologies, such as machinery or software, become unemployed because their roles are automated.

What is geographical unemployment and how does it occur?

Geographical unemployment, or 'pengangguran geografis', occurs when individuals are unable to move to areas with more job opportunities due to high relocation costs or other geographical barriers, such as the cost of living in urban areas.

Can voluntary unemployment be considered a choice?

Yes, voluntary unemployment, or 'pengangguran sukarela', occurs when individuals choose not to work because the available jobs do not meet their expectations in terms of salary, working conditions, or other factors, even though they are capable of working.

What is seasonal unemployment and who is most affected by it?

Seasonal unemployment happens when workers are employed only during specific seasons or times of the year. It commonly affects individuals in industries like agriculture or retail, where demand fluctuates based on seasonal needs.

How does demand-deficiency lead to cyclical unemployment?

Demand-deficiency, or 'permintaan defisit', occurs when there is insufficient consumer demand for goods and services, leading to reduced production. This can result in cyclical unemployment, where job losses are tied to economic downturns or recessions.
