three quarters discontinuous constant On average, they are active and working during the month, while the remaining three months are inactive and waiting for a call. This is the balance one year later. labor reform Leaving the star figure designed by the Government to replace a large part of millions of stars temporary contract Agreements signed in Spain every financial year. The total number of workers with this type of employment relationship, which is indefinite but remains on hold during the months when the contractor is less operating, will double during 2022 and are now 1.2 million employees.
HE Ministry of Labor It made public the number of such contract workers who are necessarily unemployed each month after a parliamentary question to the PP. So far, the opposition and some of the academy have criticized the Executive for reporting the number of intermittent landlines that are active and listed each month, but not the total number that is inactive. As of December 2022, there were a total of 1.23 million workers with permanent permanent contracts in force in Spain, of which 443,078 were inactive for 10 months.
In other words, although not included in the official statistics, 35.7% of them were actually unemployed for operational purposes. As never before in more than forty years, neither the current Government nor the precedents have intermittent permanents in these records. a statistic, registered unemploymentThere is an academic consensus that it has never been fruitful to reliably measure the development of unemployment.
“The figure made public in the parliamentary response is a raw data from the registry and does not adequately reflect the truth, and has therefore been subjected to a deep technical review process by the Supreme Court. SEPEto give robustness And sharpness He points to the Department of Labor, which has promised to release an indicator refined enough to be reliable in the near future to “data,” as we’ve been explaining for months.
The total number of intermittent landlines rose sharply last year, but continues to represent a small fraction of those employed in Spain, as the data provided by Social Security intersect each month with the data the Ministry of Labor now makes public. especially 7.4% of total wage earners (16.7 million people) are discontinuously stable. And among this group, the most common throughout the year is to work, not at home, without a job or salary.
Less protection when not working
The degree of social protection and the minimum periods of activity during the year are two aspects that collective bargaining between employers and trade unions must henceforth improve in order to make an adequate contribution to the unemployment collected later. And by the job reform, the number of intermittent landlines was definitely surplus, and very few companies were using it, meaning that most agreements did not contain specific clauses regulating the terms of such jobs.
Currently, the permanent fixed contract means less unemployment protection for those who have it, compared to the group of wage earners. And at that time seven out of 10 If a person registered with Sepe receives a benefit or subsidy, this rate is, on average, six out of 10 in case of discontinuous corrections. Available data allow us to visualize specific dates for which the degree of coverage is particularly low. In the period from March to June, when less permanent permanent workers are unemployed, those who remain idle receive virtually no benefits. For example, less than half received a grant between March and April.
seasonality
The discontinuous fixed figure has been strengthened, especially in the recent labor reform. seasonality characterizing important branches of activity of the Spanish economy, for example hostelHE trade or others tourist activities. According to the data analyzed, 60% of the intermittent landlines are active at the time of the lowest activity – January 2022. And in May 2022, when there is the biggest activity, the said rate rises to 85.5%.
Calling hospitality personnel and the like EasterIt is the time of the greatest mobility, which coincides with the discontinuous staff of teaching staff who still have classes. This begins to decline from June, when students’ summer vacations begin and thousands of teachers are inactive. September hits another upswing as the hospitality industry hits the final throes of the season and teachers are called back to kick off the academic year. And from that moment the activity rate declines until December and the business flash that the campaign started begins. Christmas.
