Explanation:
Unemployment is a situation or period of time whereby people are looking for jobs but they can't find any jobs.
We have three types of unemployment. They are:
1. Structural Unemployment: This is a type of unemployment whereby people are unemployed because their skills no longer match the jobs that are available due advancement in technology, specific academic requirements or training skills.
2. Frictional unemployment: This is a situation whereby people are unemployed because people are looking for new jobs, or changing from one job to another.
3. Cyclical Unemployment: This is the type of unemployment or period of time whereby people are unemployed because there is a decline in the economic system of a country for example economic recession.
