International Handbook of Labour Market
Policy and Evaluation edited by Günther Schmid, Jacqueline O'Reilly and Klaus Schömann |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
This major new handbook is a detailed, up-to-date guide to different
national labour markets and policies to combat unemployment and
their outcomes. It will become established as a standard reference
book 'the first of its kind' providing an authoritative account of
the rapidly growing field of labour market policy in a coherent and
systematic framework. Comments "A more effective labour market policy is a key factor for redressing the present unemployment situation in Europe. I am sure that this International Handbook will prove a very useful tool in the hands of labour market practitioners and policy-makers, as well as scholars, in their endeavours to evaluate, improve and adapt the present range of policy instruments. For its thoroughness, timeliness and excellence of contributions, this is a fundamental reference work for the progress of research in this field." Allan Larsson, European Commission, Belgium "Günther Schmid and his colleagues have organized a remarkably broad-gauge yet integrated volume... . The volume is a major contribution to both evaluation research and to effective policy-making... [this book] deals with numerous labour market policies and the procedures and practices that have been (and could be) applied in assessing their impacts. The policies span the full spectrum of interventions, including those targeted on special groups (e.g. the unemployed, the disabled, people needing transitional assistance), those designed to remedy private market failures (e.g. segregation, skill mismatches, and constraints on work time and hiring/firing decisions), and those designed to change the very structure of institutional arrangements (e.g. wage- bargaining systems)." Robert Haveman, The Robert M. La Follette Institute of Public Affairs, Wisconsin, US "This Handbook will help politicians as well as scholars to understand as well as improve and adjust the policy instruments that are in place. It is a thorough work, prepared to a high standard, and it will be widely used." European Labour Forum Click to order...  |
