Frictional unemployment is caused by economic system Caused by the dynamic structure. In this case economic phenomena Medium due to industrial structure With the constant changes in such aspects as the disappearance of the original jobs and the continuous production of new jobs, the workers need time to exchange jobs, so the corresponding temporary unemployment, namely frictional unemployment, arises. Its scale depends on the structural difficulties encountered by the unemployed workers and their job search. This kind of structural difficulty mainly refers to the lack of information on employment opportunities, the lack of employment knowledge, and the lack of necessary conditions for rapid movement precondition Frictional unemployment is also related to workers' freedom to find new jobs and change jobs at will. In the free economy, frictional unemployment is a kind of regular unemployment, not cyclical. The main way to reduce frictional unemployment is to increase labor mobility and provide more information about employment opportunities.
