In context of how UK male feel about unemployment, according to past researchers, unemployment record in the UK is increasing with nearly 3 million people are unemployed. Unemployment rose to 8.4 % in the UK in November and the number of unemployed set for the fourth consecutive month to a maximum of 17 years to reach 2.68 million, including an unprecedented number of males. The unemployment rate raised a tenth in the 3 months ending in November from August to October. The total number of unemployed increased in the same period in 118,000, to reach 2.68 million, representing a record since 1994.

Several factors explain the approximation. In the long term, women have taken greater advantage of new jobs in the services sector, distribution to domestic work, to education or health. Some of these jobs are part time, sometimes forced (Hughes and Perlman, 1984, 78-93). The educational level of women is very much closer to that of men, even if they are moving toward less valued sectors. In the shorter term, the economic recession that started in the summer of 2008, initially ...
