Tendencje zjawiska bezrobocia długookresowego w krajach strefy euro

Labour markets in the Eurozone have not yet recovered from the global crisis that hit the world economy in late 2008. Across the Eurozone, the reduction of long-lasting unemployment is a priority for citizens and policymakers alike. The persistence of a large number of long-term unemployed persons over long periods of time generates huge social as well as economic costs in the Eurozone. We discuss about long-term unemployment in Euro countries over the period from 1995 to 2012. One of the characteristics of the recent recession (2008-2012) was the unprecedented rise in long-term unemployment in PIIGS countries in the Eurozone. The trend in long-term unemployment varied between "core" countries and PIIGS countries.
