English term or phrase: discouraged workers
Definition from InfoUSA - U.S. Department of State:
Jobless people who are available for work but who are not actively seeking it because they think they have poor prospects of finding a job. Discouraged workers are not counted as part of the labor force or as being unemployed.

Example sentence(s):
  • As the number of unemployed workers in the labor force continues to decline, the focus on discouraged workers and other individuals marginally attached to the labor force has increased. The Heritage Foundation
  • As you can see, the worse the recession, the more workers get discouraged. The longer our current recession drags on, the further off the reported unemployment rate will be versus the true number that includes discouraged workers. The Atlantic Monthly Group
  • Other economists, however, argue that a distinction should be made between those discouraged workers who remain available for work and those who do not even want a job. Time Inc.

obeshrabreni radnici
Definition:
Obeshrabreni radnici - osobe koje žele posao, raspoložive su za rad, ali ne rade i ne traže posao jer misle da ga ne mogu naći - čine neiskorišteni radni resurs, ali po definiciji ne ulaze u kategoriju nezaposlenih. Zato se taj dio ljudskih potencijala često naziva i "skrivena nezaposlenost". Ukoliko bi se redefinirali kriteriji nezaposlenosti, ova skupina ljudi bila bi uvrštena u radnu snagu. Međunarodni standardi predlažu posebnu klasifikaciju za razvrstavanje osoba koje su po definiciji izvan radne snage, ovisno o jačini vezanosti za tržište rada.

Example sentence(s):
  • Ljudi bez posla, koji su odustali od daljnjeg traženja posla smatraju se obeshrabrenim radnicima. - EFZG  
  • Sveukupno nisko sudjelovanje u radnoj snazi odražava slabe mogućnosti zaposlenja i povezano je s takozvanim učinkom "obeshrabrenog radnika" – to jest, radnici prekidaju svoju potragu za zaposlenjem, jer su se njihovi prethodni pokušaju pronalaska posla pokazali uzaludnima. - Svjetska banka
