Abstract

[eng] The measurement of recent evolution of unemployment - The number of unemployed as defined by ILO and estimated by the labor force survey and the number of persons seeking a paid employment and registered with the « Agence nationale pour l'emploi » (ANPE) apparently did not evolve at the same rythm between March, 1986 and March, 1987. In fact, these two indicators are not precise enough to allow to conclude that there is significant discrepancy. . But even when not taking this uncertainty into account, these two concepts, the ILO definition and the «job-seeking » definition, are not equivalent. In the labor force survey of March, 1987, 340,000 unemployed persons said there were not registered with the ANPE. Conversely, 540,000 people who said they were registered would not be considered unemployed according to the ILO definition. Their number increased a great deal between March, 1986 and March, 1987. This increase represents half of the discrepancy existing between the evolution of the two indicators. More and more of those registered with the ANPE are discouraged and declare no longer that they are seeking a paid employment. [spa] La evolución reciente del desempleo - El número de desocupados según el criterio de la OIT estimado por la encuesta de Empleo y el número de parados en búsqueda de empleo inscritos en la ANPE (Instituto nacional de empleo) no evolucionaron aparentemente al mismo ritmo entre marzo de 1986 y marzo de 1987. En realidad, la precision de esos dos indicadores es insuficiente para Ilegar a la conclusion de que se trata de una diferencia significativa. . Independientemente de esta incertidumbre, los dos conceptos « desempleo OIT » y « bûsqueda de empleo » no se identifican : en la encuesta de Empleo, llevada a cabo en marzo de 1987, 340 000 desocupados no declaran estar inscritos en la ANPE. Inversamente, 350 000 personas que dicen estar inscritas en la ANPE no son consideradas desocupadas según el criterio de la OIT. El numéro de éstos aumentó mucho entre marzo de 1986 y marzo de 1 987. Este aumento explica, a nivel contable, la mitad de la divergencia de evolución entre los dos indicadores. Por otra parte, obedece al hecho de que cada vez más los desocupados inscritos en la ANPE están desalentados y no declaran buscar un empleo. [fre] Emploi et chômage . La mesure de l'évolution récente du chômage . Claude Thélot . Le nombre de chômeurs au sens du BIT estimé par l'enquête Emploi et le nombre de demandeurs inscrits à l'ANPE n'ont apparemment pas évolué au même rythme entre mars 1 986 et mars 1987. En réalité, la précision de ces deux indicateurs est insuffisante pour conclure à une différence significative. . Indépendamment de cette incertitude, les deux concepts « chômage BIT » et « demande d'emploi » ne s'identifient pas : dans l'enquête Emploi de mars 1 987 340 000 chômeurs ne déclarent pas être inscrits à l'ANPE; inversement, 530 000 personnes qui disent être inscrites à l'ANPE ne sont pas considérées comme des chômeurs BIT. Leur nombre a beaucoup augmenté entre mars 1986 et mars 1987. Cette augmentation explique, comptable- ment, la moitié de la divergence d'évolution entre les deux indicateurs. Elle tient à ce que de plus en plus d'inscrits à l'ANPE sont découragés et ne déclarent plus qu'ils recherchent un emploi.
