47% of the unemployed Spanish are faced with the abyss, in which, in the visible, their capabilities of searching for employment will collapse: these are those who are those who are those who are those who are those who are those who are those who are those who are They exceed the year in search of the possibility of working in vainEither from the other or their own. Those who registered in state employment services that overcame this threshold, barely reaching 7% of registered placements every month in SpainThe field is the worst of all that ambitious concrete measures plans to solve their situation do not seem to work.
Long -term unemployed are the most numerous group among such “Priority groups” For active employment policy. These groups have general socio -demographic and labor characteristics that put them in the position of greater vulnerability in the labor market.
This makes them aimed at recruiting actions managed by regional public services, although it is coordinated throughout the country through the sectoral conference on employment and is largely funded at the expense of general state budgets. These plans were the subject of ambitious reform, whose pillars were Spanish employment strategy 2021-2024. And The Employment Law was approved in March 2023Field
Preliminary analysis of SEPE about a strategy whose update for the period 2025-2028. Employment of a rebound Of the unemployed who received some of “Guaranteed services“
Improve their employment between 4 and 13 percentage pointsAccording to the affected group. Although improvement can Overcome 21 points Depending on the specific measure used.
However, long -term unemployed Inappropriate note: Their disability deteriorates at 6.3 pointsAnd they also do this in all the actions that they accept.
Ballast for employment
Improving employment is calculated by evaluating the work rate of labor six months before and six months after receiving the service and comparing variations with the one from which They do not receiveField
Long -term unemployed They suggest that 71% of the “priority unemployed“Although this percentage is not absolute, since the same stop can enter several categories. The most common example: a woman over 45 years old, who has long been unemployed.
Therefore, the results are usually distorted upward, which adds value to the SEPE analysisThis develops a methodology for destruction Priority collective impactThe field in this sense must be understood long -term unemployment Like a transverse handicap This remains effective for measures that in other circumstances would be positive.
SEPE research confirms the truth known to analysts in the labor market: the longer it remains in unemployment, harder to get out of itThe field but for the first time is due to the effectiveness of active policy, isolating factors, such as age or gender.
The result is a long: all programs, even the most effective, lose influence if they are applied to prolonged unemployment. This especially affects those older than 45 years old, who are more at the risk of getting into this situation and They represent 58% of those who are registered SEPEField
In addition, contracts that long -term unemployed are 16, make up 16 shorter days, which, if they do not receive benefits from some measure, which means that even labor and active politicians do not bring them.
This This is not connected with the current leader. All of the above launched specific plans without improving the results. Now that the new strategy has been prepared over the next three years, these data can be used to start changing things.
