English term

discouraged workers

GBK English to Arabic Social Sciences Economics
Jobless people who are available for work but who are not actively seeking it because they think they have poor prospects of finding a job. Discouraged workers are not counted as part of the labor force or as being unemployed.
Example sentences:
As the number of unemployed workers in the labor force continues to decline, the focus on discouraged workers and other individuals marginally attached to the labor force has increased. (The Heritage Foundation)
As you can see, the worse the recession, the more workers get discouraged. The longer our current recession drags on, the further off the reported unemployment rate will be versus the true number that includes discouraged workers. (The Atlantic Monthly Group)
Other economists, however, argue that a distinction should be made between those discouraged workers who remain available for work and those who do not even want a job. (Time Inc. )

العمّال المحبطون

هم الافراد الذين يئسوا من ايجاد فرصة عمل او الذين يتوقعون ان ليس لديهم مؤهلات تسمح لهم بالدخول الى سوق العمل وبالتالي لا جدوى من البحث عن عمل.
Example sentences:
بالإضافة إلى الأعداد المتزايدة للعاطلين عن العمل، تشهد بلدان عديدة زيادات كبيرة في عدد السكان المحبطين (....) (International Labor Organization (ILO) )
و مع الأخذ في الحسبان عدد العمال المحبطين الذين كفوا عن البحث عن عمل فإن معدل البطالة في الربع الثالث من العام 2004، بلغ بعد تعديله 32.6 في المائة . (ESCWA )
