extra financial benefits for the unemployed

a large number of young people entering the labor force

an increase in union membership

Decreases natural rate of unemployment

reducing workers' collective bargaining rights

Explanation:

natural rate of unemployment is unemployment that exists when there is only structural and frictional unemployment in an economy

structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition . Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.  

Frictional unemployment . the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.

If the unemployed are given extra benefits, there would be less incentive to find a job, thus unemployment would increase

An increase in union membership increases bargaining power of employees. this can lead to increase in wages. increase in wages reduces demand for labour and this increases unemployment. reducing collective bargaining right has the opposite effect on unemployment

a large number of people entering the labour force increases frictional unemployment
