To the problem of unemployment: psychological aspects

Abstract

The problem of unemployment is quite urgent today. The various transformations and changes that take place in each country are often accompanied by a series of crises that subsequently affect all spheres. The purpose of our study is a theoretical analysis of the psychological state of the individual in the situation of unemployment. The article presents a theoretical analysis of the unemployment aspects: the sources of psychological state and the factors that determine such a situation; three main types of unemployment: friction, structural, cyclical, its derivatives. Scientific sources have revealed that the problem of unemployment is a consequence of objective and subjective determinants, which need to be solved at the national level with a psychological support system. It has been found that the main source of formation of the person psychological state in the situation of unemployment is the exclusion from the paid employment, expressed in the following specific forms: deprivation of needs (material support, self-respect, communication); the emergence of new needs (at workplace); the loss of a usual time structure and course of action. The results of this theoretical study are important for the development of models, and methods of experimental study of competitiveness during unemployment.
