我国中长期的劳动力供给曲线不断向右移动，在劳动力需求曲线不变的情况下与劳动力需求曲线相交于新的均衡点，在新的均衡点上工资降低，就业人数增加。然而由于工资具有刚性或粘性，在劳动力供给曲线向右移动后，企业对劳动力的需求量并没有改变，所以造成大量的非自愿失业人数增加。这种由于劳动力供给不断增加和工资刚性造成的大量非自愿失业就是总量性失业。劳动力自然存量的增加是总量性失业产生的直接原因，没有劳动力人口的增加也就没有总量性失业的产生。劳动力需求相对稳定是总量性失业产生的重要条件。如果劳动力供给增加后劳动力需求由于某些特殊的原因也大规模增加，总量性失业是不会产生的。工资刚性是总量性失业产生的关键因素。当工资是刚性时，劳动力供给增加不能使工资下降，厂商还只能按照原有的工资水平雇佣劳动力，厂商没有增加对劳动力的需求，从而产生总量性失业。 总量性失业治理的重点是增加劳动力的需求，同时也要兼顾改善劳动力供给、改善劳动力市场。继续实行严格控制人口过快增长的政策，降低劳动参与率，适当缩短劳动时间，实行灵活就业制度，对于控制劳动力供给治理总量性失业具有重要意义。加快技术进步，促进多种所有制经济的发展，积极发展劳动密集型产业，大力发展农村经济，发挥我国劳动力资源优势增加国际劳务输出，是增加劳动力需求减少总量性失业的重要途径。要减少总量性失业，使劳动力的供给和需求保持平衡，还应该健全劳动力市场，把总量上大致相等的劳动力供给和需求衔接起来。

In China, the supply curve of labor is moving right, and the demand curve is immovable. In new equilibrium quantity, real wages is lower, employment quantity is increase. As a result of sticky wages, the demand of manufacturer to labor is not change. So there are many labor forces can not find job, although they want to wok with present wages. Gross unemployment is not voluntary unemployment. It is formed by increasing of labor supply and sticky wages. The increase of population is a direct factor to the gross unemployment. It is prerequisite of gross unemployment. The tranquilization of the labor demand curve is important to the gross unemployment. There is not the gross unemployment, if the labor demand becomes very magnitude. The sticky wages are pivotal factor to the gross unemployment. When the wages are stickiness, the labor demands are immovability while the labor supplies are increase, then employments are not increase. The countermeasures to gross unemployment are reducing labor supply quantity and increasing labor demand quantity. And a perfect labor market also is necessary of the countermeasures. There are many measures to reducing labor supply quantity. For example, reducing the new labor force, reducing work force participate, reducing work time, agile obtain employment. Also there are many measures to increasing labor demand quantity. For example, improving technocracy, developing private economy, increasing machine-driven industry, developing country economy, and increasing labor force export. A perfect labor market is necessary to connecting the labor supply and demand.
