| Abstract | ||
| A statistical model is developed for describing the survival distribution of the waiting time to have a job for unemployed individuals. With such a model it is possible to make statistical inferences. It should be noted that in order to develop this model, one requires the lifetimes of all individuals under study. In many cases these lifetimes are not available. The model suggested in the present study introduces a method to overcome this difficulty. An application of the suggested model to the case of Egypt in 1996 is introduced. | ||
