Many economists attribute part of the recent increase in European unemployment to A high birthrates. B slow rates of technological change. C generous benefits for unemployed workers. D increased demand for unskilled workers.

The correct answer is C) generous benefits for unemployed workers.

Explanation:

Many people in a position to work see state aid as the way to dedicate themselves to household chores, instead of working in a company. This situation has a negative impact on the unemployment indicator, making one directly believe that there is a problem in this regard, when in fact it is located elsewhere. Governments should execute actions in order to achieve a better insertion of people in the labor field, and that they also see that there is a very big difference compared to the facilities offered by the state for their maintenance.
