Intermitted fixed people who do not work, and are recorded as applicants, are not considered registered unemployed and never did this, since the government repeats. However, They can charge the benefits of unemploymentAnd this has a clear influence on one of the indicators that the Ministry of Labor and Social Economy uses more often to illustrate the success of its management: Coating speedThis link has grown by 15 percentage points compared to levels before labor reform, and until 2025 it reaches a historical maximum of 76.5%. At that time, the weight of these workers with an indefinite contract They perceive the help of unemployment, tripled.
Neither all unemployed people do not charge a manual, nor subsidies for unemployment, nor all who do this are considered unemployed. Two basic requirements – lack of work and working earlier – recognize exceptions. The most famous people with labor relations, such as those who are affected by the employment regulation file (Erte) and inactive intermittent fixed, although they are not the only ones. AND This distorts the speed of the coatingField
This indicator is calculated Separation of the number of beneficiaries of unemployment benefitsOr between the quantity registered unemployed with experience (That is, with the right to benefit). Both the division and the divider add the number of beneficiaries Agricultural subsidy (ancient per)Since its characteristics are considered a team excluded from a registered blow, they can distort the numbers, although it is perceived only in extremard and Andalusia.
But this adjustment does not apply to those who are affected by Erte or to dubbing, although the weight of the first remains residual: on average it was only 1800 on average from 2025. On the other hand, seconds reach 110,455. More than the beneficiaries of an agrarian subsidy, which are located in 72 179Field
In addition, since Dubrivance devices are not considered unemployed, their influence is perceived only on dividends, while the divider (unemployed with advantages) is reduced. As a result, coating speed Get an even greater impulseField
A The seams of this formula were already obvious during the pandemicWhen Erte touched thousands of employees during which their jobs were suspended or their abbreviated days, but were not dismissed, so they were not considered unemployed. In 2020, the average value of the first months of the year reached 93.3%, although only in May did it shoot at 134%. ANDC, say, there were more people who charged unemployment than registered unemployed.
In 2021 and 2022, this speed was modified before on average 61.2% in both yearsThe field should be remembered that the labor reform had a variation of “three months of Legi” until the suppression of possible contracts for work and maintenance, which is considered a key factor that caused the use of intermittent fixed fixed, especially ETT.
However, in 2023, 2024 and 2025, the coating level began to grow continuously, almost 15 points. The Ministry of Labor associates it with the improvement of the unemployment of groups such as artists, as well as an increase in unemployment from 2013 from 50% to 60% of the contribution base after the sixth month (Indicator that was cut out by PP in 2012) But this factor, which affects expenses, is neutral for the purposes of coverage of advantages, Since this does not increase the number of beneficiaries.
Intermittent riddle
What role do dubbing play in this scenario? One of the keys to Erte’s success during the pandemic was that those who touch on these rules They did not consume their right to benefitThe forecast, which extended to the intermittent fixed fixed, and which explains the amazing phenomenon: in 2021 there was more fixed intermittent charges than in 2020, and in fact this figure remains the maximum of the series.
This is due to the fact that these employees were associated with actions, the most affected restrictions, and this was most required to resume activities, such as tourism and hospitality. Therefore, many intermittent fixed They were not caused And they continued to take benefits with them.
This led to an average monthly inactive intermittent devices that charge unemployment benefits from 37,764 in the first five months of 2019 to 114,687 in 2021, according to SEPE records, which does not require how many cases were charged from subsidies. This is despite the fact that this year the total number of beneficiaries was reduced in relation to the record of 2020, when only 59,541 fixed Dubrabiv were registered.
With this increase in pThey fried 4.9% of the advantages in 2019 up to 13.1% in just two years. By 2022, the number decreased to half: 61 934 of the average month, with an indicator of 8.3%. Over the next two years, it grew to 110,455 in 2025, which is 12.9% of the total.
Why more fixed unemployment charging? And why is there such a big difference with the number of workers in employment?
The reason is that this is a very unstable work in which the chain of periods of activity and inaction is so high that from one month to another it may double. If we analyze the May month in isolation, we will see that there were only 59,524 beneficiaries. In the same month of 2019 there were 17,081, numbers that remain very Below the average value of the first five months of the yearThe link that we use in the article.
The accumulated and monthly numbers, in any case, seem reduced, affecting the coating frequency. But here you must take into account another factor: fixed duplication does not behave in all regions. Paradigmatic corps – Balearian Islands: These contracts are the basis of their tourism activitiesAnd this leads to high distortions on the figures, as SEPE recognizes.
The islands record the average level of coating for 2025 at 230%, when in 2019 it amounted to 110%. This means that there are more than double people who charge unemployment than they are with the right to do so. Something logical, if we consider that these jobs They crossed from the assumption of 19% of their employees to 33% in these six yearsField
In other communities, the speed of the coating increased much less, although the weight of the intermittent fixed fixed steel was also less: the average earnings do not exceed 6%. At this stage, it should be noted that the effect of intermittent fixed fixation also depends on jobs: in actions with a clear relapse and periodicity, in which the challenges are long and predictable, Like in tourism on the Balearian IslandsIntermitted fixed people generate more rights to benefit than in the most volatile, in which the periods of activity are shorter.
In any case, this evolution says that the effect of inactive intermittent fixed fixed in the statistics of the State Employment Service is not limited to employment and unemployed plaintiffs. There is a direct impact on the fundamental variable for the history of the executive branch, the coefficient of coating, which also requires analysis or even correction. In the end, this has already been done among the beneficiaries of agricultural subsidy.
