Abstract

[fre] Avec un taux proche de 20 %, l’Espagne avait un taux de chômage presque deux fois plus élevé que la moyenne européenne à la fin des années 90. Cet écart ne peut s’expliquer uniquement par les spécificités de l’économie espagnole. Une comparaison avec la France et les États-Unis montre que la structure du chômage y est différente. Les jeunes y souffrent moins du chômage, en termes relatifs, qu’en France et le niveau de formation joue un moindre rôle qu’aux États-Unis dans l’obtention, en termes relatifs, d’un emploi. Le chômage semble ainsi réparti de façon plus uniforme sur l’ensemble de la population. Mais si la flexibilité du marché du travail est mieux partagée entre jeunes et vieux, entre moins formés et plus diplômés, elle est aussi plus importante qu’en France, même si elle reste inférieure à celle des États-Unis.
