Summary/Abstract: Mentoring, job search programmes, further training and support to facilitate daily living are the primary tools for public bodies to deal with long-term unemployment. In a report published in 2019, the European Commission assessed the progress made by Member States following the 2016 Council Recommendation on the integration of the long-term unemployed into the labour market.An important factor in examining the dynamics of the labour market is that long-term unemployment generally affects well-defined groups of people (such as the undereducated, the disabled, disadvantaged minorities) on the one hand and that, though the long-term unemployed make up half of the total number of unemployed persons in the Union, they account for less than a fifth of the participants in active labour market measures on the other hand. All this has a wide potential for development.The study examines in three parts the conceptual, practical, and regulatory contexts of long-term unemployment, taking into account the aspirations of the Union, the regulatory issues to be answered by national legislators, and, finally, the internal dynamics of the labour market.
