Abstract

[eng] Employment in 1982-1983 : simple respite in the divergence beetween supply and demand - The number of jobs decreased by 190 000 in 1983. From this point of view, it was the worst year in twenty-five years. The shrinking of company work demand, attested to by numerous indicators, is very noticeable. At the same time, labor resources continued to grow. Measures taken in 1982 and 1983 favoring retirement had a definite, but only brief effect. In these conditions, the progression of unemployment, contained from the summer of 1982 to the autumn of 1983, has started up again significantly, as has been noticed in the course of the last months. [fre] Le nombre d'emplois a diminué de 190 000 en 1983. C'est la plus mauvaise année de ce point de vue depuis vingt-cinq ans. Le rétrécissement de la demande de travail de la part des entreprises, attesté par de nombreux indicateurs, est très sensible. Dans le même temps, les ressources en main-d'œuvre continuent à croître. Les mesures favorisant les retraits d'activité prises en 1982 et 1983 on eu un effet certain, mais seulement momentané. Dans ces conditions, la progression du chômage, contenue de l'été 1982 à l'automne 1983, reprend fortement, comme on le constate au cours des tout derniers mois. [spa] El empleo en 1982-1983 : mera tregua en la discrapencia entre oferta y demanda - El número de empleos disminuyó en 190 000 en 1983; es el peor año desde este punto de vista de veinte años acá. El estrechamiento de la demanda laboral por parte de las empresas, atestiguado por numerosos indicadores, es notable. Al propio tiempo, los recursos de fuerza laboral siguen incrementándose. Las medidas que favorecen los retires de actividad, tomadas en 1982 y 1983, surtieron un efecto indiscutible si bien tan solo momentanéo. En tales condíciones, el incremento del desocupo, dominado desde el verano de 1982 hasta el otono de 1983, se reanuda con fuerza, tal como puede observarse en el transcurso de los iltimos meses.
