Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Structural unemployment is caused by a mismatch between the skills and qualifications of workers and the needs of employers. By expanding support for education and retraining, the government is directly addressing this mismatch and aiming to help workers gain the skills needed for available jobs. This is in contrast to frictional unemployment, which is short-term unemployment due to the time it takes for workers to find a new job, and cyclical unemployment, which is caused by downturns in the business cycle. Government unemployment refers to job loss due to government policies, and discouraged unemployment refers to workers who have given up looking for work.
