Unemployment costs, directly or indirectly, reveals that this phenomenon is a waste of human and financial resources generated by the use of an incomplete production funds, with implications for social costs. Direct costs are highlighted in the form of financial payments to the fund for social protection of unemployed, which is mainly used to pay unemployment benefits, support allowance, qualification and retraining of unemployed. Indirect costs are generated by reducing overall production and income that could benefit the entire population.
