Unemployment is a phenomenon that is present in almost every country. To make the right decision and get out of a possible crisis, each country counts the unemployed population. But practically no method of calculating unemployment can estimate such an indicator as hidden unemployment.
Instructions
Step 1
Hidden unemployment includes workers who are officially registered at the enterprise, but in fact are "unnecessary" there. They usually work either part-time or weekly with a proportional reduction in wages, or are sent on unpaid leave. Officially, these are not unemployed people, and a certain proportion of them, for example, women with small children, are even satisfied with this part-time job. But there are also many who want but cannot get an eight-hour day or a full week.
Step 2
The reasons for the emergence of hidden unemployment include the unfavorable economic situation in the country and the lack of desire among employers to bear responsibility for the released workers. So, in the case of compliance with Russian legislation, the employer will bear the costs in connection with the reduction of the staff, which will reduce his income. Therefore, organizations very often reduce the length of the working day and the number of working days in a month, thereby employees are forced to leave on their own. In this way, employers save huge amounts of money by not paying compensation. In addition, methods of unlawful pressure on employees, the threat of their dismissal, are widespread. This is done in order to send the employee of his own free will on vacation, which will not be paid.
Step 3
The main methods for calculating hidden unemployment used in Russia are: formal and poll. Under the formal method, only persons officially registered with the Employment Service are taken into account. The formal method shows inaccurate calculation results, since the indicators are underestimated. After all, not everyone goes to the labor exchange. The results that the survey method gives are more real. Based on social surveys, the approximate number of unemployed is calculated in each locality, in each field of activity.
Step 4
Controlling hidden unemployment is very difficult. Very often, organizations hide the downtime of their human resources, hide behind the guise of success.
Step 5
Social services are called upon to deal with hidden unemployment. authorities, commissions on human rights and labor, trade unions and others. It is they who stimulate employers to comply with the law, as well as to respect the rights of their employees.
Step 6
Hidden unemployment is highly mobile. When the market conditions change, the financial position of the enterprise, or employees are guided by their own desires, then unemployment can be either released or effectively employed. Therefore, hidden unemployment is not unemployment, but rather ineffective employment.
