Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between the unemployment rate and the labour force participation rate in Spain.Cointegration analysis is performed for aggregate, male and female time-series. Results suggest that there is no a longrun relationship between the two variables for the aggregate and male cases. However, the findings support a long-runrelationship between the two variables for the female time-series. Thus, the unemployment invariance hypothesis issupported in the two former cases but not in the latter.
