Book excerpt: American employment policy for displaced workers started in the Great Depression with programs for the employment service, unemployment insurance, work experience, and direct job creation. Assistance for workers displaced by foreign competition emerged in the 1960s along with formalized programs for occupational job skill training. The policy focus on displaced workers was sharpened in the 1980s through the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and the Economic Dislocation and Worker Adjustment Assistance Act. Field experiments on services to dislocated workers led to Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services systems in all states, and federal rules adopted as part of the North American Free Trade Agreement Act permitted UI benefit receipt while starting self-employment. Evaluation evidence suggests there should be continuous connection of unemployment compensation recipients to reemployment services, skill training closely connected to employer requirements, earnings supplements to ease transitions to different jobs, efforts to maintain and strengthen employer-employee relationships, information channels to employees and communities about impending employment disruptions, and targeting of services to improve returns on public investments. While no silver bullet emerges to solve worker displacement, many different programs addressing a variety of needs can improve labor market outcomes after permanent job loss.

Download or read book Assisting Displaced Workers written by Duane E. Leigh and published by W E Upjohn Inst for. This book was released on 1989 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph describes and evaluates state initiatives dealing with displaced workers. These initiatives include the provision of programs to retain jobs and encourage economic development, as well as reemployment assistance provided directly to workers in the form of retraining programs and job search workshops. The focus is on more innovative state initiatives. The monograph is organized in six chapters. The first chapter defines the problem and continues with an overview of some of the policy issues relating to worker displacement, especially the incidence of displacement and whether government should be expected to provide displaced workers with special assistance. Chapter 2 focuses on state initiatives to upgrade the vocational skills of displaced workers through classroom and on-the-job training programs. Chapter 3 describes the component services of a broadly defined job search assistance program and discusses the results from several demonstration projects that measure the net impact of this type of assistance. Chapter 4 considers the timing and location of program intervention, including state laws, federal laws, and state onsite assistance programs. Chapter 5 includes a consideration of other initiatives, such as programs providing assistance to employee groups to save jobs, enterprise zone proposals, and British and French plans to promote entrepreneurism. The final chapter pulls together the results of the study and suggests answers to six key policy questions, concluding with a consideration of what appears to be the best mix of programs to meet the needs of displaced workers. The document includes 104 references and an index. (KC)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph takes the perspective that increased awareness of how active labor market programs operate in other nations can substantially improve the way in which the United States deals with worker displacement. Chapter 1 considers the costs of worker displacement and how government programs designed to reduce these costs are evaluated. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the labor market policies in place in the seven countries examined: Sweden, Germany, Japan, Britain, Canada, Australia, and the United States. It investigates a possible linkage between these countries' labor market policies and differences in their unemployment rates. Chapter 3 reviews the evaluation evidence available for demonstration projects and experiments implementing active labor market programs in the United States as well as evaluation reports examining the effectiveness of training and basic education programs in demonstration projects targeted to economically disadvantaged workers. Chapter 4 considers adult retraining programs. It investigates the government training model in Sweden, Britain's employer-led/school-based model, and firm-based training systems in Germany and Japan. Chapter 5 focuses on employment services. It examines carefully the job matching system provided by the Swedish public employment service and job development services supplied by the Canadian Industrial Adjustment Service. Chapter 6 presents findings and outlines an agenda for assisting displaced workers. Appendixes include 148 references and an index. (YLB)
