Description
This volume offers a contribution to the ongoing debate concerning the utility of preventive labour market policies. Positive labour market performance is discussed from a European perspective and analyzed against the background of transferability in an era of increasing globalization of markets. Concentrating particularly on the role of corporatist and market processes, the book focuses on the effects of preventive unemployment through the comparison of innovative and flexible policy solutions. Some of the fundamental issues the book tackles include the extent to which the conditional framework for preventive market policy is undergoing change, the response mechanisms to these changes which characterize national strategies and the learning processes which can be triggered through the exchange of national experiences within the EU.
