Desemprego de longa duração

Long-term unemployment can lead to marginalisation from the labour market through depreciation of skills and a loss of motivation, says the OECD, a think-tank of mainly rich countries. Although total joblessness began to decline in 2010, long-term unemployment continues to rise. The long-term unemployed are more likely to be men with average skill levels, especially so in the United States, which had the largest increase in long-term unemployed in the OECD. In Spain, which also experienced a big increase, people with low skills account for more than half of the long-term unemployed. By contrast, both Germany and Poland have decreased long-term unemployment since the financial crisis.
