It is important to search and find a point of convergence that allows to conclude towards the best strategy to handle this unemployment issue. Curiously, It seems that this phenomenon is part of a natural state of society.
The above As, for example, the different levels. of education, the differences in sex and ages, the excesses of offer and the demand of the labor market, the different organizational structures of companies, interests particular, globalization, which in many cases produce competition unfair, among other aspects; everyone They create a non-Pareto scenario, precisely because of the differences They exist between the agents and, therefore, in the short term there is no general balance.
The existence of the characteristics of perfect competition does not occur in the labor market and, therefore, do not exist homogeneous products or actors, as well as agents with the particularity that they are accepting prices and the existence of zero costs to enter or exit a market.
In this sense, and as a complement, an equalization of supply and demand to get to that the markets are empty. Without this fact, and the absence of a price of balance, excesses will be presented, sea in the offer or in the demand, in consequently, imbalances that produce unemployment. This situation as the teachers indicate Peter Diamond, Dale Mortensen and Christopher Pissarides, awards. Nobel in economics 2010, has its origin in the differences between each one of the players; inequalities they are represented in the different levels of education, sex, salaries, organizational structure, etc.
Notwithstanding the above, the form how to interact agents in reason to their asymmetric behaviors, In addition to the interests of each one} and the contrasts between themselves, is a human element and therefore natural that is generator of unemployment. For this reason, unemployment it is better to study it from models economic where, at least, sectors are evaluated, and not studied. added way; Yes you can obtain as a result the no convenience of travel simultaneous of the supply curves and demand. Under this reason, what pretend to explain that the successive adjustments (not simultaneous), where agree the offer with the demand or vice versa, may be the mechanism optimal to reach levels of satisfactory employment.
Notwithstanding the above, there will always be the unemployment variable in the models
Macroeconomic, if you consider the unemployment as a social problem (Martínez, 2003) that is also associated with economic cycles and is a policy tool (Henao and Rojas, 1998). Under this perspective, it is very naive to try to search an optimum level of employment. Low
this reason unemployment ends being a phenomenon inherent in the economy In this order of ideas, time to design policies on in particular, it should be considered that there will always be unemployment while the agents assume behaviors not efficient and unfair (not Pareto).
For the above considerations, It's important to put attention on there is a natural rate of unemployment that can vary in very small proportions to the point of power considered constant 1 (Market Stall that its oscillations in the long term,
1 According to the study by Henao and Rojas (1998),
the natural rate of unemployment is around
of 10%.
twenty
on average, they will be minimal). So the Things, the answer to unemployment is in the conduct of the agents And, for this reason, it is best to assume positions that have strategies in mind of efficiency, justice and information symmetric in a scenario cooperative games.
Bring on this occasion the conclusions to which the Nobel Prize winners came economy in 2010, Professors Peter Diamond, Dale Mortensen and Christopher Pissarides, it's timely. They explain the way they interact labor supply and demand in a context where companies create jobs adjusted to certain conditions, and on their side the people looking for a job try to find the occupation that Satisfy your expectations.
So things, what exists is a stadium of imperfect information, with different positions and prices; generating, consequently, high costs mutually. That is, the various needs, interests and circumstances of people and businesses that fail to fit into a point of balance brings as results the} unemployment.
Starting from this theory, to achieve efficient effects on policies that seek to reduce unemployment, it is very important to know an inventory of vacancies in institutions, know what job seekers demand and what are their profiles, like also the expectations of the people who are of working age. It is not convenient the single facility of subsidies against unemployment, the first employment law, elimination of the parafiscal; all of them by themselves alone they can produce speculations and later erroneous evaluations, because expectations will not be chords with the results. Finally, what can transcend are voices affirming that the labor policy designed it is inadequate.
In this sense, the goals that are established as for the creation of jobs must have a the starting line and locate the companies that are willing to adopt those labor contracts, and for that same way to know the costs. With} this information, the government must control those transits and not leave them to the swing of the market. The only disclosure} and approval of labor standards it does not solve the problem.
The creation of policies and norms to try to incentivize the employment without specific locations, is something similar to launching a group of deer in a jungle full of lions hungry
I have not seen or heard that group of companies, both public as private, that they commit with linking people in their payroll, indicating profiles, salaries, needs and, of course, with a indefinite contract time. Them i leave this concern and put the letters on the table. How many people they are able to contract each company, when can they Do it and for how long?
