Summary/Abstract: The survival analysis of registered unemployment uses censored data of twokinds. If the final event of the observation is a jobseeker’s employment, then we can acceptfor censored observations the cases of leaving the register for other reasons (retirement due toold-age pension or permanent disability, a failure to report to the labour office) or the observationswhich had not finished with an event before the end of the study. Moreover, the veryact of taking up income-generating work can take various forms: taking up a job, setting upa business or taking advantage of subsidised job programmes offered by local governments,such as intervention or public works. All of these forms are considered to be some form ofcompeting risk. The purpose of the article is to use the cumulative incidence function (CIF)to evaluate the probability to leave unemployment and to use the hazards models to assess theintensity of leaving unemployment in reference to various types of the competing riskThe survival analysis of registered unemployment uses censored data of two kinds.
