Abel Gordon · Answer 1

structural unemployment

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this relates to structural unemployment. Like mentioned in the question this term refers to unemployment caused by technological change instead of changes in supply and demand. Therefore individuals who are layed off do not gain practice with the new systems and technology being implemented and their skills begin to deteriorate.
