chômage

Chômage, or unemployment, refers to the situation where individuals who are actively seeking work are unable to find a job. It is a measure of the health of the economy; high unemployment can indicate economic difficulties, while low unemployment suggests a robust job market. People classified as unemployed typically include those without work, available for employment, and actively looking for a job. Factors influencing chômage include economic cycles, technological changes, and governmental policies. Monitoring unemployment rates helps policymakers plan interventions, such as training programs or economic stimulus, to support job creation and economic stability.
