Abstract

This study is aimed to define unemployment, and private sector, to know more about both, and to study the role of the private sector in limiting unemployment in Jordan in special. In a particular year the level of unemployment is determined by the level of aggregate demand for the goods and services which a country produces .if demand higher this reduces unemployment so the demand side approach to unemployment .so to expand demand through higher budget deficits and lower interest rates. But unfortunately unemployment cannot be reduced indefinitely by expand demand .for eventually the economy will run into bottle necks and labor shortage that point employers will increasingly raise wages to attract labor and there will all be increased union demands for higher wages .so demand will have to stop rising-either of its own or through policy action. Thus our ability to reduce unemployment is limited by the labor shortages which begin to appear as unemployment falls are features of the “supply-side of the economy and it is they which determine how unemployment can fall without creating inflationary pressures while demand management is important the key issue for employment policy is how reduce the level of unemployment at which inflationary pressures appear.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Unemployment as mentioned by Abd Al-Qader, 2003 shall not stay a hidden danger but it becomes truly a direct danger threatening the social stability and peace for what it have of dangerous negative dimensions on the economical, societal, and political levels! Whatever figures and data conflicts, it warn crises and a catastrophic matters to be happen unless governments cooperated with private sector, international and local organizations do take practical solutions for facing it.[1]. Unconcealed unemployment (Clear, forced and open): It means the existence of number of people [males and females) ready to work and there aren’t working opportunities inside the economical institutions This kind of unemployment is familiar and do exist. As a result of many factors affecting the economy and making it grow in a slow average to make working opportunities available compared to the fast growing average of new people entering the working force This is as close as ever to clear unemployment. Working force: This means the people between 15-65 of age subtracting from them students, those who do not work because they have another source of life so they do not want to work and housewives whom assumed internationally as not paid labor This little average, it still possible that it makes a problem from social point of view, especially if the unemployment period were long for some workers
