Abstract
Headcount measures have been criticized as potentially inadequate when looking at changes in poverty or literacy over time or in determining the success of particular public policies. In this paper I argue that using the headcount measure of unemployment can be misleading as well. I utilize an externality argument similar to the one used in the literacy debate and provide a class of measures that capture externalities of employment.
