Structural Unemployment
(redirected from Unemployment, Structural)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Structural Unemployment
Unemployment that results from a change in the way the local or national economy functions. For example, suppose the economy in a region is heavily dependent on exploiting a single, natural resource. If that resource is entirely consumed, the trained and untrained workers working on exploiting it will find themselves subject to structural unemployment, since there are no other companies exploiting that natural resource because there is no more natural resource. On the plus side, these gaps in the economy can open up new opportunities. See also: Retraining.
