Book excerpt: Published in 1999, Working Europe: Reshaping European employment systems offers a fresh analysis of recent changes in labour markets and the restructuring of welfare states. The analyzes presented in the articles not only focus on labour market changes, but take up the important issues of: * How labour markets have been regulated and directed * How the various social security systems offered by the welfare state are related to the questions of labour markets and employment systems * How efficient labour market policies are in reducing unemployment * How employment is locally created and initiated * How the gender system is related to employment systems. This book is the first to offer a full picture of the restructuring of the employment systems and the complex relationship between employment, the welfare state and concepts of work.

Download or read book Labor and an Integrated Europe written by Lloyd Ulman and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the European Community moves toward full integration of its members' economies, one of the most far-reaching changes will be in the European labor market. Nontariff barriers to trade between the member countries will be removed, and workers will become free to seek employment anywhere in the Community. As these changes take place, individual markets stand to lose their national identities while workers and employers face profound challenges. In this book, a group of leading labor economists and social scientists address an array of concerns about economic integration and provide insight into labor's likely response. They identify the challenges of the Single Market Program and explore the implications of western European integration for European industrial relations, European labor mobility, and economies and labor markets in the rest of the world. The contributors assess the impact of economic unification on European trade unions, wage-bargaining, work rules, training programs, and benefits. They draw on U.S. experiences in the centralization and more recent decentralization of the work force, consider the German system of industrial relations as a model for power sharing between workers and managers, and explore current efforts of labor market restructuring and privatization in central and eastern Europe. They address such questions as: Will pension and health insurance arrangements constrain worker mobility? Will cross-country wage differences within the EC narrow? And will exchange rates and monetary unification exacerbate unemployment problems? They also examine the impact of unification on immigration policy, capital markets, and trade. Labor and an Integrated Europe provides a much needed background for developing a coherent plan that deals with these crucial labor issues.
Download or read book Structural Unemployment in Western Europe written by Martin Werding and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading international economists examine the different patterns and long-term trends behind persistent unemployment across Western Europe in light of recent developments in labor market theory. Structural unemployment, or persistently high levels of unemployment that do not follow the ups and downs of a typical business cycle, varies significantly across industrialized countries. In this CESifo volume, leading labor economists analyze the widely diverging patterns of long-term unemployment across Western Europe. Drawing on recent developments in labor market theory and macroeconomics to explain the emergence and persistence of unemployment, the studies look for fundamental explanations and common patterns that might lead to policy solutions.The two opening chapters offer overviews of the problem: European labor market expert Stephen Nickell highlights the unemployment situation in the "Big Four" continental European states of France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, and American economist Edmund S. Phelps focuses on new theoretical approaches that examine institutional factors influencing unemployment in a given country. Following these introductory essays, prominent economists consider the experiences of their home countries, in chapters on Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Finland, Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. By taking advantage of the richness of research conducted at a national level and making the work accessible to an international audience, this volume contributes to a new understanding of structural unemployment and how it can be overcome through labor market reforms and other economic policy measures.

Download or read book A Programme for Full Employment in the 1990s written by Kreisky Commission on Employment Issues in Europe and published by Pergamon. This book was released on 1989 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the 1980s Europe has experienced the problem of mass unemployment, with 20 million Europeans - more than 10% of the labour force - out of work. Faced with the prospect of this trend continuing into the 1990s, the Commission on Employment Issues in Europe, under the direction of the former Austrian chancellor, Bruno Kreisky, was set up in 1986 to investigate the problem and offer possible solutions. The result is A Programme for Full Employment in the 1990s , the work of over 80 of Europe's leading public figures. Central to the Commission's report is the premise that unemployment is as much a political as an economic phenomenon: persistently high levels of unemployment may lead to political defeatism and social apathy, but this does not mean that the problem is either inevitable or acceptable. The Commission outlines a Six-Point Plan for co-ordinated European expansion, an aggressive new strategy for economic growth and job creation which aims at qualitative as well as quantitative development. The perceived problems of such rapid economic growth would be offset by channelling resources into a variety of job creation schemes, which would also benefit Europe as a whole, including: new approaches to environmental protection; the development of better transport and telecommunications links; urban renewal and improved housing; the expansion of cultural and education programmes; training and research into the new technologies, and increased levels of aid to developing countries. This radical call for cooperation between European governments to take positive action to tackle the unemployment crisis is a forceful response to one of the major problems facing Europe today.
