It is very important what is the public perception of unemployment, what public opinion says about it, what say about it politicians, academics or journalists. It has influence on self-estimation of people affected by the phenomenon, it has also a great importance for the social interactions and the policy against it. The unemployment can be treated as a natural or as a feigned problem and unemployed people can be treated in a stereotypical way as not very active and not very resourceful. Studies show that reality is different from the social knowledge of it. Fortunately there is a possibility to change public opinions, to improve the image, and bring it closer to reality. The Catholic Church is one of the social actors that can take part in achieving this goal. Contrary to the stereotypical perception every human is threaten as individuality. In its doctrine Catholic Church treats unemployment as a negative phenomenon, in every situation it is a waste of human capital.
