You do not see much change between ~1960 and ~2010, in Europe/North America?<br></blockquote><div><br>Do I see an obvious and regular correlation, from, say, 860 or 1860 and 2010 AD, between the degree of technological development of a given world region and age and "unemployment", however defined? No.<br>
</div><br>I may be less sure within the constraints that you dictate, but of course if one selects one's sample and extrapolate what he has been looking for in the first place, I assume that everything can be demostrated. Moreover, on the same basis it could be argued that unemployment has grown along with the diffusion of English as a second language in the area and period concerned... :-)<br>
