"Voluntary" unemployment: This is a term associated with certain right-wing economists who believe that very little unemployment is involuntary, in that unemployed individuals have no choice in the matter of their employment status. The concept of voluntary unemployment implies that individuals choose to be unemployed - and claim benefit - rather than accept work where pay may be close to benefit level. 1, record 1, English, - voluntary%20unemployment

Dans l'analyse la plus récente du chômage, on s'aperçoit qu'une partie des chômeurs se sont mis volontairement dans cette situation, ou acceptent d'y rester pour une durée plus ou moins longue. Cette situation est liée à un désir de rechercher, dans les meilleures conditions, le plus d'informations possibles sur les emplois offerts. C'est ainsi que des travailleurs, estimant incomplète leur vision du marché du travail, vont refuser des emplois jugés inintéressants, voire l'abandonner s'ils en ont un, préférant procéder librement à une recherche d'informations complémentaires. 1, record 1, French, - ch%C3%B4mage%20volontaire
