Summary

At the beginning of the 1990s unemployment grew in all industrialized countries: the essays in this collection focus on the causes of this worrying phenomenon. The volume starts by analysing the disparities in the different national experiences and then focusing on European unemployment. This is followed by more theoretical discussions using econometric models. The volume ends with policy recommendations.
