Long Term Unemployment (Social Change in Western Europe)

0.0

In countries accustomed to full employment, where the right of every citizen to work is recognised, long term unemployment is intolerable, despite the fact that it is constantly increasing. Who are the people who fall into this category? How do they become "long term unemployed"? How do they tolerate their situation? Can the numbers be reduced? How can it be explained? Examining the measures taken by different Western European countries, this book raises the question of what is behind these policies, what solutions there might be to unemployment, and what future there is for those compulsorily unemployed?
