Best Answer

They are still effectively unemployed, but because they aren't searching for work, they may be retired, unable (due to health reasons), stopped looking due to discouragement, married and not in the job market anymore, etc. Unemployment is generally measured by how many people have applied for or are presently on unemployment compensation. Unemployment also refers to the available work force, not the population in general.

The word "lazy" could be used, but is not as close as the noun laggard.

The phrase "work-shy" can apply, but this also can be used for employed slackers.
