“…The high unemployment rates in Nordic countries since the 1990s and early the 2010s have been well-documented in numerous studies (Elmeskov, 1994; Aaberge et al. , 2000; Jochem, 2000; Ervasti, 2002; Holmlund, 2009; Honkapohja, 2009; Nymoen and Rødseth, 2003; Salokangas et al. , 2022).…”

This increase in unemployment rates has disrupted the linearity of the relevant variables, with structural breaks playing a significant role in the unit root processes of the variables.…”

PurposeThis study aims to test the unemployment hysteresis hypothesis for Nordic countries by considering age and gender differentials at various frequencies.Design/methodology/approachFirst, the authors test the linearity of the unemployment series and apply appropriate unit root tests based on the linearity test results. The authors use these tests for both original and wavelet-decomposed unemployment rates.FindingsThe authors' findings indicate that the results obtained from the original and decomposed series differ. While the authors find evidence of unemployment hysteresis in the six unemployment rates in the short run, they observe supportive results for hysteresis in the three unemployment rates in the long run.Originality/valueThe authors take into account different age and gender groups. Furthermore, the authors propose a testing strategy for unemployment hysteresis that considers the nonlinearity and structural breaks in unemployment rates. Finally, the authors determine whether the unemployment hysteresis is valid at various frequencies.
