I'm somewhat surprised that this issue was not already discussed on Wiki. But it isn't. Have checked employment, unemployment, underemployment etc. I ran into this topic some years ago, when I looked into unemployment statistics, and therefore, underlying definitions. "Effective unemployement" may not be the right term, looked in my old sources and found "Expanded unemployment". Same thing.

For the term "Effective unemployment rate" Gscholar returns 82 hits, and Gbooks 212 books
For the term "Expanded unemployment rate" Gscholar returns 73 hits, and Gbooks 76 books

Bottom line though, is that the term is relevant, encyclopedic, notable .. the whole slew, but it evidently needs expansion. Power.corrupts (talk) 15:21, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So you have these "old sources", you confirmed the definition, and you found a synonym. Then you took off the prod tag and left it as a dictionary definition without any references (and inadequate context). RenegadeMonster (talk) 15:57, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I made a contribution, It may not be perfect, but I think it is in the right direction, even for the obvious shortcomings. Power.corrupts (talk) 11:13, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
