The women unemployment in lithuania

Societies in every country face the negative phenomenon known as unemployment. The government in every country could make full employment of their respective labour force a primary policy objective. However, this goal is impossible to achieve as evidenced by the fact that even the most developed countries can not avoid unemployment. Furthermore, natural unemployment is even useful for the economy. Every individual desires to have a good job and to earn a good salary. A high unemployment rate in the country indicates that many resources are not being used properly and are consequently being wasted. Unemployment causes many problems for a person. These problems are not only financial, but also personal. It is very important to note, that unemployment not only influences the lives of the single man and his family, but also impacts every person in the country as a whole complex. Women’s unemployment is an exceptional part of common unemployment. If one compares separate segments in the labour market, such as the youth or handicapped, it is evident that different reasons cause the origin of women’s unemployment. For instance, women are more emotionally vulnerable and physically weaker. In addition, women in the labour market often face discrimination. Women’s unemployment is not only a big problem in Lithuania, but also it is a major concern in the whole world.
