The Political Economy of Unemployment

Meer over het boek

Focusing on labor market policies, the study contrasts West Germany's cooperative approach among labor, employers, and government with the United States' fragmented and underfunded system. Janoski argues that inadequate American policies have led to a poorly trained workforce and ineffective job assistance. He proposes substantial reforms, including a new national labor organization and enhanced technical training in schools, to improve outcomes. This meticulously researched work offers valuable insights for policymakers and social scientists on addressing unemployment in industrialized nations.
