The number of people with ongoing problems in job search has declined steadily and strongly in recent years. In Germany in year 2006 still 2.6 million were considered chronic unemployed, it was 2015 1.2 million. This is work of a new study by Nuremberg Institute for Labour Market and Vocational Research (IAB). In this period, proportion of those affected by total number of people working and unemployed has more than halved during this time.

The authors of study distinguish between land-term unemployment and chronic unemployment. According to IAB labour market researcher Regina Konle-Seidl, latter also records those whose unemployment is interrupted by short periods of employment or by means of support measures, and which neverless cannot “take a proper foothold” in regular labour markets. This gives a more realistic picture of how many people have sustainable integration problems in employment. For almost half of all “chronic unemployed” This has been true for at least five years. 15 percent of m n make leap to regular labour market within se five years.
The long-term unemployed, however, are people who have not had a job for twelve months or more. According to study, figure was 2006 at 1.9 million, in year 2015 at around one million.
Experts see Hartz reforms as a reason for declining
The IAB experts see reason for decline in chronic unemployment in Hartz reforms and favorable economic developments over past ten years. Measures such as wage cost subsidies and continuing vocational training can refore play an important role. The IAB is research Institute of Federal Employment Agency.

According to study, country comparison with Denmark and Finland, examined by researchers, shows that Federal Republic has a higher long-term unemployment rate, but not a higher level of chronic unemployed.
