People who are often unemployed know that the state will make statistics on the unemployment rate every year, so as to formulate some employment policies and guidelines through data, so do you know how the unemployment rate is calculated? How does an unemployed person be considered unemployed?
The full name of the unemployment rate should be called the unemployment rate of the urban population, and it has a general calculation formula: unemployment rate = unemployed population (employed population + unemployed population) 100%. Among them, the labor force refers to the population who are within the working age (usually 15-64 years old) and have the ability to work.
So what kind of people are not considered unemployed?
First of all, school students are not included, take the data of 2023 as an example, there are more than 62 million students in China's urban population aged 16-24, accounting for more than 6 percent of this age group.
Of course, there are also those "older" student groups, such as doctoral students, ** education, as long as they are student groups, they are not included in the statistical caliber, and the group of fresh graduates who graduate from graduate school and take the public examination is not counted.
Secondly, people with agricultural hukou are not included, just listen to the name, the unemployment rate of the urban population, the urban population does not include the rural hukou, because having a rural hukou means that the village has land, that is, the means of production, spring planting and autumn harvest, summer and winter hiding, as long as you are willing to work, you will not starve to death, so there is no unemployment.
Third, people who can't find a job for two consecutive months are not included, and people will only think that you don't want to work subjectively, not that you can't find a job.
Fourth, people who have paid social insurance are not considered unemployed, although these people do not have a fixed occupation and belong to the "flexible employment" people, but they themselves pay social insurance, so they are not counted.
So what kind of person can be considered unemployed?
First of all, it is necessary to find a job for 3 consecutive months, note that it is 3 consecutive months, and as long as you are registered during the period, then you will have to start counting the time again.
Secondly, those who have received unemployment benefits are considered unemployed, our country has unemployment insurance, when you are unemployed, and failed to find a job for 3 consecutive months, you can be regarded as unemployed, you will be honorably recorded, but there are some regulations here, when ** provides you with a job opportunity, you can not refuse, you need to be employed within 2 weeks.
Of course, there are some unwritten "regulations" here, for example, when you are a passive resignation, only the words of dismissal from the company can be received on the resignation certificate, and those who resign voluntarily cannot receive unemployment insurance, so when you are dismissed by the company, in addition to the necessary compensation, the resignation certificate must also be optimistic about whether it is a dismissal.
So to put it simply, there is only one adult who has no job for the time being, but he is still actively looking for a job, and such a person is considered unemployed.
This is one of the reasons why everyone feels that people around them are unemployed, but the data is not so obvious.
Here I have to mention the United States, the unemployment rate in the United States is generally counted in the non-farm data, you see, people will also remove the peasant group, and their calculation method also excludes the group that is unable to work, so many people on the Internet are out of context and have ulterior motives to create contradictions.
