From the social point of view, anunemployed person suffers from a sense ofdiscontentment, and unemployment problem mayeventually lead to social disorder and anarchy.

It falls most heavily on the young,the semi skilled and unskilled, the down trodden, theold worker and the unemployed persons in a low incomerural area who are denied the option of securing morerewarding urban employment.There is more subtle cost of unemployment also. Thesocial and economic strains of prolongedunderutilization create strong pressures for costincreasing solutions. On the side of labor, prolongedhigh unemployment leads to share the workpressure for shorter hours; intensifies resistance totechnological change and to rationalization of rules andin general increases incentives for restrictive andinefficient measures to protect existing jobs.6.
