More specifically, from its impact on unemployment rate. In this way, this work analyzes the unemployment rates sensitivity to fluctuations at economic activity, based on the methodology of cointegration. The main results found confirm the existence of a relationship of long run equilibrium between these series. We also see that the adjustment speed of correction of disorders of shortrun toward the long run equilibrium is quite slow - which refers to the need to think about policies aimed to stimulate aggregate demand in way that to promote economic growth in the long term and the generation of employment.
