This article provides policies for structural unemployment, frictional unemployment and unemployment shifts. The main focus of the paper is on the policies necessary to avoid unemployment shifts. These policies include:
· Direct job creation
· Subsidies to employers
· Self-employment options
In terms of self-employment policies, these policies are directed towards youth, as entrepreneurial skills can be acquired more easily by youth then by adults.
