What is hidden unemployment Minister von der Leyen has good news: declining unemployment. They were always a barometer of good policy - because they can impress the voters. No wonder that over the decades, the number of unemployed was artificially reduced by gimmicks. Once again, federal Labour Minister Ursula von der Leyen has positive numbers to report from the labor market. The number of registered unemployed has declined in June to 2.893 million. These were 67 000 fewer than in May and 255 000 less than a Jahr.Die rate declined by 0.1 points to 6.9 percent. A year ago it stood at 7.0 percent. Unemployed who have no job. One might think, but this is not the case. At least, not if, after the Federal Employment Agency (BA) goes. In its monthly statistics to emerge that is thousands of people who, though they do not work, but are not yet counted as unemployed. We will explain who is excluded from the official count. BA is one of the first only the labor force without a job who have registered as unemployed. If you can not register to obtain unemployment benefit (ALG) I or II, is not counted, and thus appears nowhere on as unemployed. How large is the number of Germans who for that matter, can only be estimated. Who called for "measures to activate and professional integration" scheme is also not recorded as unemployed. In plain text does the job seeker to be prepared for the job market with training and further education. Especially on this bill, there are always heated debate among politicians, because the unemployed are actually participating as a computer course, of course, still without a job. The reasons for the BA to why this is not officially unemployed are unemployed for longer: They stand for the duration of their training are not job placement available, therefore they are called "hidden reserves". Job Center jobseekers can also issue a voucher which they can then arrange a private placement. Since 2009, these are by private carrier mediated unemployed no longer included in the official statistics. The reasoning sounds familiar: Because they are so tutored by another body, they stand for mediation by the Job Center is no longer available. That's not quite right. (Photo: AP) Even a disease one can get out of unemployment - at least the BA thinks so. For, according to the official definition, can only count as unemployed, who is actually also communicable. Permanently sick leave can not work, why are not employable, and thus - according to the official view - not unemployed One-euro job's a job who is employed under the so-called "citizen work", is also not considered unemployed. The civil work was started by BA in July 2010. The goal is to appropriate job seekers who have found after half a year through the job placement center but no work to employ a non-profit job and paying for it. Even the so-called "one-euro jobs" are not officially counted as unemployed. Officially, these jobs are called "job opportunities with additional expenses" and are available to recipients of ALG II are available. They should help, especially long-term unemployed, make their way back into the labor market. They certainly do not receive a salary, but, as the name suggests, only an expense allowance. Which is usually between 1 € and 2.50 €. Nevertheless, people in such "work opportunity" unemployed with no more impact. At least according to statistics. In addition, not everyone who receives unemployment benefit I or II, does not actually work. About one third of ALG recipients at increased: These are workers who earn too little in their jobs to earn their livelihood and therefore get help from the state. These include, for example, recipients of foundation grants that wish to start their own business. Also, people in retirement who are dependent on unemployment benefits are not considered unemployed. Altogether as a dark field with millions of people. n-tv.de
