Therefore in this area be wary of the policies

No need to pretend: unemployment and its consequences, now, are there. Known figures, first visible effects. Certain situations become explosive, as in Guadeloupe, where more than 20 of adults and almost 40 of youth are unemployed. And on all continents, global depression requires, level rises of the United States to China, the Spain to the Japan. Rates climb, the last few months, faster than the height of the oceans without reaching for the moment, the alert rating. This approximation may seem incongruous, is warranted yet. Since the announced economic glaciation is expressed, on a daily basis, in terms of global warming: submerged areas, entire sections that collapse, notice of storms.

It is well known that unemployment is not only a matter of statistics. Behind the figures can be seen countless human tragedies: anxiety, humiliation, désemparements... The future is even more worrying that no reliable solution seems available. Is legitimately questionable results on the employment of current stimulus plans. Moreover, it is not clear that capitalism is self-regulating efficiently and fast. Yet, no alternative reality is, once excluded fantasies revolutionaries. On the ends of their implementation, the history of the 20th century provided amount of black lessons. Great unemployment made the bed of the riots, and from there is are built the dictatorships of the extremes. Therefore, in this area, be wary of the policies.

This is what be pessimistic. Of course, as always, we will invent a build-up: small arrangements, temporary negotiations, provisional compromise. Which will be to highlight, once more, the poverty of the available responses. How to try not for a moment to look at history from a different angle It could begin by recalling a simple fact: unemployment, the current meaning, is something recent. The French language knows the "unemployed" in its modern sense only since 1876 and their number is recorded for the first time to the 1896 census. Previously There is obviously poor, inactive people, men and women without work for a more or less long term. They were not to the "unemployed" because modern unemployment does not occur before the generalization work employee. In pre-industrial society, "unemployed" meant only "not working" because of a religious festival, for example, or a seasonal shortage without this inactivity implies a loss of employment. At present, be unemployed means, above all, have more employment.

Should we conclude, in reconsidering the foreseeable rise in unemployment and the visible absence of solutions, that labour must be reviewed for background fills That other terms and conditions of work are to invent an emergency Some highlight already as evidenced by the success of the new status of "autoentrepreneur" entered into force on 1 January only. Should be, so that unemployment ceases to be a burden on the economy, a threat to society, infamous for individuals pain, come to reconsider our relationship to the work in its dimensions they are psychological, emotional, moral, legal, social and economic

It therefore redirected to flat Catechism without dogmatism. The assumption seems to be beautiful, but highly unrealistic. The Sun will be switched off until such issues are settled. What remains therefore to wait Continue the course of the world's chaos and its bumps, is declining here, progress elsewhere. Unemployment, which is first want a profound mutation, the radical cure of a greater rational transparency, returns us finally to the modesty of the crafts of history, their tragic opacity and their hazards.
