Éducation, emploi et participation au marché du travail dans un modèle d'appariement

  • Olivier Charlot

Abstract

The ageing of workers is a key factor to explain their different performance on the labour market. Employment rates by age are in general bell-shaped, whereas unemployment rates by age are generally continously decreasing. Over the past decades, employment and participation rates have particularly decreased for two different age categories : the youngest and the eldest. We build a matching model of unemployment aimed at understanding these features.
