Unemployment causes crimeWhy does global macro economic environment become worse, it will bring many countries' unemployment rates raise as well as it can cause crime rate number rises in possible? I believe that they have case and effect relationship. In most countries, unemployment is higher today than it was in the 1960s. Why are these such large variations in unemployment, it brings more crime after 1960s? I shall indicate the reasons as below: (1) Hiring costs raise unemployment as firms become more anxious to keep the workers they have, which puts upward pressure on wages. So, when the global societies employers feel any costs are increasing after 1960s, e.g. manufacturing cost, rent cost, office and/or office electricity cost, goods transportation cost, even wage cots etc. hen, many employers will choose to dismiss many workers and unemployment rate will be raised. When many workers lose jobs for long time. Social crime number will increase, in special, the low educational and low skillful workers. Their crime mind and crime behaviors will be caused by long term unemployment.(2) Generous unemployment benefits may make workers more selective in their job search and raise unemployment. IN fact, after 1960s, global macro economic environment had been improving from manufacturing industry to service, than high technological industries development both. It will cause the developing countries, such as Africa, China, Hong Kong, Korea etc., their low education and low skillful workers lose jobs suddenly, due to their manufacturing skills won't be popular needed to employers. For example, old cloth drwssing machines will be replaced from new high technological cloth dressing machines, old car manufacturing factory method will be replaced by high technological artificial intelligent car manufacturing method. When the low manufacturing skillful workers can not find any manufacturing jobs to match their manufactury skills in their job search process. Then, in long term unemployment situation, the high technolobical development factor will cause the low manufacturing skillful workers have crime or anti-social psychological mind to cause crime behaviors easily.
