Frictional unemployment refers to the unemployment they exist when economy is at full employment level. It is also called NAIRU. It results from a institutional structure of the labour market and its social habits that impact on the behaviour of workers and firms.

Cyclical unemployment is the unemployment in excess of frictional unemployment and occurs when the economy is at below full employment level. It is caused when the economy is undergoing cyclical changes as part of the business cycle

Structural unemployment results from rigidities in the structure of an economy’s labour market and institutions. This is typically manifested in a mismatch of the requirements in labour market and the available skill set.
