40% of jobless unlikely to find employment
The Employment Ministry has designed an index of vacancies for the registered unemployed, and it shows that 39.9 percent of the total number of people who were registered late last month had only a bleak chance of finding jobs. According to the data, about 1.6 million belong to this category out of the 4 million people who registered.
This index highlights the fact that about 13.5 percent of the people who are unemployed and registered with the INEM had very little chance of finding employment, and the odds of finding a job for 26.3 percent were very low.
The people most likely to miss out on job opportunities are people without higher education, women, older workers and immigrants. People who are prepared to relocate or travel further to work are also more likely to find jobs than those will not.
Taking into account all of the above factors, it was estimated that around 39.9 percent of those registered as unemployed had very little chance of finding work while those who had some chance of finding employment were around 37.1 percent. Only 22.9 per sent stood a good chance of going back to work.
With regards to the sexes, 37 percent of men were unlikely to find jobs while the figure for women was higher at 42.8 percent.
