Persistent unemployment is recognised as one of the main mechanisms
of social and political exclusion. The Dynamics of Full Employment
provides a new and fresh approach to the question of full employment
in contemporary society. lt offers an internationally comparative,
interdisciplinary approach to the dynamics of full employment and
views the labour market not only as an economic institution, but as
a social one. The authors argue that transitional markets -
defined as legitimate, negotiated and politically supported sets of
mobility options - are becoming essential ingredients of successful
employment policies in modern societies. Social integration through
participation in the labour market should not exclude productive
activity in other spheres of life.
The authors attempt to enhance the understanding, through
empirical evidence, of the dynamics of modern labour markets and the
theoretical foundation of transitional labour markets. They also aim
to determine which arrangements (via institutional, legal and social
security frameworks) might best be able to prevent or relieve
structural unemployment.
This innovative and original book will be of interest to both
academics and policymakers in the fields of public policy and labour
market, and employment policy in particular.
