Book Synopsis The Low-Skill, Bad-Job Trap by : Mr.Alun H. Thomas
Download or read book The Low-Skill, Bad-Job Trap written by Mr.Alun H. Thomas and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1994-07-01 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper explains how a country can fall into a “low-skill, bad-job trap,” in which workers acquire insufficient training and firms provide insufficient skilled vacancies. In particular, the paper argues that in countries where a large proportion of the workforce is unskilled, firms have little incentive to provide good jobs (requiring high skills and providing high wages), and if few good jobs are available, workers have little incentive to acquire skills. In this context, the paper examines the need and effectiveness of training policy, and provides a possible explanation for why western countries have responded so differently to the broad-based shift in labor demand from unskilled to skilled labor.

Book Synopsis Education and Training in Europe by : Giorgio Brunello
Download or read book Education and Training in Europe written by Giorgio Brunello and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-05-17 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Europe is certainly one of the richest and most educated areas of the world, some of the challenges faced by the old continent are staggering: low economic growth, structural difficulties in the labour market, and increasing international competition. Politicians and policymakers may advocate different means of overcoming the potential economic decline of Europe, but most agree that Europe needs to strengthen human capital, its ultimate competitive advantage in the world economy. This book looks at the accumulation of human capital from two perspectives, first through formal education and then professional training. It provides a useful summary of the key characteristics of education and training in Europe and also asks key questions about the fundamental problems with the current educational and training systems. More importantly, the book goes on to discuss which policies are necessary to make existing education and training systems more efficient, while also making higher skills available to a wider range of people.

Book Synopsis Unemployment Policy by : Dennis J. Snower
Download or read book Unemployment Policy written by Dennis J. Snower and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-05-15 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is substantial disagreement among policy-makers about how governments should respond to the problem of high unemployment. Thus far there has been little, if any, systematic attempt to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the main unemployment policies available to governments in market economies. Individual policy recommendations are usually made in isolation from one another. This book attempts to provide a balanced assessment of the various policy options, including the following: demand management versus supply-side policy, subsidizing employment and training, restructuring labour market regulations, and reforming the welfare state. The book also examines the political economy of unemployment policy and the effect of this policy on productivity growth.
