  • OECD EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK – ISBN 92-64-19778-8 – ©2002 188 – the Ins and Outs of Long-Term Unemployment
    Chapter 4 The ins and outs of long-term unemployment Efforts to reduce the duration of unemployment spells should be a key element in strategies to reduce overall unemployment. There is some evidence that the long-term unemployed are relatively more likely to become very-long-term unemployed in some countries, while they are more likely to exit the labour force in others. In European countries, the shares of prime-aged males in long-term unemployment and in potentially- avoidable disability and early retirement appear to be similar. A special analysis of longitudinal data for European countries is used here to examine the role of recurrent unemployment and explore alternative measures of long- term unemployment. Conventional measures understate the extent of long-term unemployment insofar as many short-term unemployed will go on to accumulate 12 months or more of unemployment before their spell ends. Multiple spells of unemployment are common, but in many of the countries considered secondary spells of unemployment do not add many unemployment-months to the total experienced over a four-year period. A second section examines issues of timing in the design of active labour market policies. Should interventions intensify as the duration of unemployment spells increases, or should policy concentrate on preventing long-term unemployment before it arises? Are “profiling” procedures, for the early identification of individuals who need intensive assistance, effective? Do the minimum contribution and maximum benefit periods in unemployment insurance systems encourage cycling between benefits and short-term employment? When programmes are targeted on the long-term unemployed, how do the authorities define long-term unemployment? Can very-long-term unemployment or cycling between benefits and labour market programmes be reduced by creating permanent jobs for the most disadvantaged unemployed? References to national practices and experiences in this chapter illustrate and to some extent answer these questions.
