Abstract

Στόχος της παρούσας εργασίας είναι να δώσει μια εκτίμηση του μεγέθους της κρυφής ανεργίας καθώς και να αναλύσει τις ροές μεταξύ της απασχόλησης, της ανεργίας και του μη οικονομικά ενεργού πληθυσμού εργάσιμης ηλικίας. Με τον όρο κρυφή ανεργία αναφερόμαστε σε εκείνα τα άτομα που είτε είναι ακούσια άνεργοι είτε υποαπασχολούμενοι αλλά δεν καταγράφονται ως άνεργοι από την Έρευνα Εργατικού Δυναμικού. Για την εκτίμηση του πραγματικού ποσοστού ανεργίας χρησιμοποιήσαμε δύο μεθοδολογίες: εκείνη που προτείνεται από το ACOSS (Australian Council of Social Service) και εκείνη που διατυπώθηκε αρχικά από το Perry (1971) και αναπτύχθηκε περαιτέρω από τον Mitchell (2000). The aim of the paper is to estimate of the size of hidden unemployment in Greece. By hidden unemployment we refer to those people who are unemployed or involuntarily underemployed but they are not counted as unemployed by the Labour Force Survey. To estimate the actual unemployment rate we used two methodologies: one proposed by the ACOSS (Australian Council of Social Service) and one developed by Mitchell (2000)
