- Summary
- "The second edition of this acclaimed volume has been thoroughly revised and updated to provide an authoritative account of how active labour market policies (ALMPs) can help make globalization work better in the interest of workers around the world. Offering an expanded and current overview of the nature of ALMPs, this new edition gives readers a fresh look at the pitfalls and challenges countries face when evaluating these programmes." "A new chapter on financing reflects today's growing relevance of ALMPs and provides an overall policy framework for designing durable, yet adaptable ALMPs. While putting forth some powerful arguments in favour of these programmes, the book also emphasizes that they should not be used as a "quick-fix" solution. For this reason, it recommends new ways of financing these policies over the long term and examines the importance of social dialogue as a vital policy tool for establishing more permanent frameworks that allow for labour market flexibility while maintaining security in a globalized world."--BOOK JACKET.
