Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frictional unemployment refers to the temporary unemployment experienced by individuals who are between jobs or transitioning from one job to another. In the given scenario, the housewife has been out of the labor force for 20 years, and it may take her some time to find a suitable job that matches her skills and experience. Therefore, she would be classified as frictionally unemployed until she finds work. The other types of unemployment (structurally and cyclically) do not apply to this scenario.
