- Abstract
- One cause of rising unemployment is the steady increase in productivity per employee/worker, on the average 1-1,5% a year in Belgian corporations. This results in overcapacity (consumer spending is decreasing because of the crisis). Corporations maintain their profit that amount to billions of euros, by laying off then thousands of workers. This might be avoided by the reduction of working hours per employee while preserving purchasing power. So-called activation of all unemployed is a fallacy since there are not enough jobs.
