Abstract

Unemployment, economic deprivation and poverty are social welfare indicators. All form a cycle of chained factors which begins with the loss of employ. The objectives of this study were to describe the trend of unemployment, economic deprivation, poverty and self-employment in men and women in Andalusia during the period 2000-2013, as well as evaluating possible significant changes in trend after the beginning of the Great Recession. The results showed a significant worsening of the indicators of unemployment, economic deprivation and risk of poverty in Andalusia since 2008. On the other hand, an improvement of self-employment was observed in both sexes.
