112 Atvinnuleysi 3. Atvinnuleysi 3. Unemployment Yfirlit I þessum kafla eru birtar töflur um atvinnulaust fólk. Töflunum er skipt i 3 undirkafla. I fyrsta töflukaflanum er atvinnuleysi sett fram eins og það er mælt í vinnumarkaðs-könnun Hagstofunnar. I öðrum hluta eru birtar töflur um skráð atvinnuleysi. Þriðji undirkaflinn er aðeins ein tafla þar sem borið er saman atvinnuleysi á Islandi og öðrum OECD- löndum. Hér á eftir verður getið nokkurra athyglisverðra upplýsinga sem fram koma í kaflanum. Þá er gerð grein fyrir helstu hugtökum og aðferðum sem varða sérstaklega töflur í þessum kafla. Atvinnuleysi á árinu 1997 var 3,9% miðað við 3,7% árið 1996. Það svarar til þess að 5.700 manns hafi verið atvinnulausir á árinu að jafnaði miðað við 5.500 manns árið 1996. A árunum 1991-1997 var atvinnuleysi hlutfallslega mest á árunum 1993-1994 eða 5,3%. Árið 1997 voru heldur fleiri konur en karlar atvinnulausar, eða 3.100 konur á móti 2.600 körlum. Atvinnuleysi var einnig hlutfallslega meira meðal kvenna en karla, eða 4,5% á móti 3,3%. Atvinnuleysi var meira á höfuðborgarsvæðinu en utan þess eða 4,4% á móti 3,1% á árinu 1997. Synopsis This chapter presents tables about the unemployed. Tables are divided into three sections. The first presents unemployment as it is measured in the Statistics Iceland labour market surveys. Section two contains tables on registered unemployment. The third section comprises a single table comparing unemployment in Iceland with other OECD countries. The following is a description of some of the highlights of this chapter. The principle concepts and methodology relating to the tables in this chapter are also outlined. Unemployment ran at 3.9% in 1997, compared with 3.7% in 1996. This is equivalent to 5,700 people having been unemployed on average throughout the year, compared with 5,500 the previous year. Over the period 1991-1997 unemployment was proportionally highest in 1993-1994, at 5.3%. Unemployment in 1997 was higher amongst women than men, with 3,100 women and 2,600 men without work. Unemployment was also proportionally higher among women than men, at 4.5% ofthe female labour force as against 3.3% ofthe male component. Unemployment in 1997 ranhigherin the capital area than outside it, at 4.4% compared with 3.1%. Mynd 3.1 Atvinnuleysi 1991-1997 Figure 3.1 Rate of unemployment 1991—1997 Atvinnuleysi er nokkuð misskipt eftir aldri. Árin 1991- 1997 hefurþað jafnan verið mest í aldurshópnum 16-24 ára. Árið 1997 var atvinnuleysi 7,7% í þeim aldurshópi samanborið við 8,4% ári áður. Munur er á atvinnuleysi eftir menntun. Atvinnuleysi er mun meira meðal þeirra sem aðeins hafa lokið grunnmenntun en þeirra sem hafa lokið menntun á Unemployment varies considerably according to age. Over the period 1991-1997 it has consistently been highest in the age group 16-24. Within this group the unemployment rate was 7.7% in 1997 compared with 8.4% the yearbefore. There is also a difference in unemployment according to educational background. Unemployment is much higher among those
