Abstract:

 That free trade has led to an increase in unemployment has been the strongest argument for trade protectionists. But it was not until the 1990s that research on the relationship between international trade and unemployment sprang up among the theoretical literature. In this paper£¬the theoretical literature is sorted out according to several models explaining unemployment: the minimum wage model£¬the efficiency wage model and the search model. And then the empirical literature is summarized according to transnational research and research on individual countries.Research shows that different impacts of international trade on unemployment are expected according to 3 different theoretical frameworks£¬due to different systems of respective countries£¬labor division and characteristics of each trade participants£»also empirical study shows that due to difference in industrial element input£¬connections among different industries£¬industry openness and respective regime characteristics of the trading participants£¬there can be different results.
