Abstract
Some Policies to Overcome the Inequitable Distribution of Unemployment Having gained some insight into the structure of unemployment it is worth comenting briefly on some of the policies which have been put forward to deal specifically with the inequities inherent in this structure. If one individual is unemployed more frequently and for longer periods than another, this does not, of course, necessarily imply that he is any the worse off. His wages while employed and his leisure and unemployment compensation while unemployed may be more than adequate to compensate. However, given the differential access to secure occupations, wages will not be enough to offset the costs of high unemployment incidence particularly if this is associated with long spells of unemployment. Thus it is probably safe to say that those who suffer relatively frequent and lengthy bouts of unemployment are inadequately compensated which is some justification for the introduction of special measures to assist such individuals.
