本研究關心台灣日益嚴重的長期失業現象,特別關注於長期失業者的特性。使用行政院主計處的「人力資源調查」資料庫進行長期失業現象及其人口、就業特質之分析。研究發現:1. 經濟環境對總體的失業與長期失業人口之規模具有解釋力。2. 人口特質中的年齡(4 5-54、30-44歲組)對人們是否成為長期失業者有解釋力,但教育水準沒有解釋力。3. 失業原因中的「因工作結束而離開工作」者較易成為長期失業者。4. 各變項對人們成為長期失業者的總解釋力不高,而代表若在台灣的長期失業現象中, 或存在著文獻所強調之變項以外的因素。另外,分析亦發現,中短期失業者和長期失業者的人口及勞動特質並不相同,此或代表著短期失業者和長期失業者是不同的人口群體。
