New Aspects of Labour Market Policy - Conference Volume of the third INFER-Workshop on Economic Policy

This timely book considers challenges to labour markets more broadly than most other publications on the issue, that is including economic, political and structural aspects as well as setting these in a multidisciplinary and comparative context. The aim of the volume is to build on the strengths of traditional scholarly analysis in undertaking a critical and practical examination of applied policy and structural issues. As such, the book deliberately represents a collection of stimulating essays by British, German, French and US experts rather than a systematic treatment of a single theme. But this is the book's strength: by giving the authors the opportunity to undertake their own evaluation of demographics, EU employment policy, local labour market measures, immigration and political economy aspects of reforming the labour market, this volume makes an invaluable contribution to one of the most hotly-debated fields of contemporary political economy. It will be of interest to anyone working in this field.
