Unemployment constitutes a danger for the economic, political and social stability of a country. This paper presents the development of a model which can help to demonstrate the most important opportunities to influence unemployment at three levels: at the level of the general political framework, at a corporate level as well as at an individual level. Subsequently, empirical data is presented which provides a clear indication of the effect of economic clusters in promoting employment. On this basis, measures to support the formation of economic clusters are developed.
