Insufficient job creation and the decreasing quality of jobs are
fundamental social problems throughout the industrialized world.
This impressive book uses a multidisciplinary approach to provide
an accessible and wide-ranging assessment of the effect of changes
in labour market institutions on the creation of jobs. This book
brings together a distinguished group of contributors from the
fields of economics, management and industrial relations. The
authors rigorously examine how labour market institutions shape
employment performance and assess issues such as unemployment
benefits, job security provisions and collective bargaining. These
institutions are found to be key determinants of unemployment rates
and other important social and economic indicators such as activity
rates, and the share of part-time and short-term contract jobs. The
authors also focus on public policy and the reform of current
institutions and assess their effect on the adaptation of the
labour force to the changing demands of international markets. In
particular, several chapters analyse the impact of information
technologies on the organization of firms and their internal and
external labour markets. Regulatory changes are proposed to
facilitate the adjustment and competitiveness of both companies and
workers in order to increase the creation of jobs. Job Creation
will be required reading for scholars of labour economics, labour
markets and public policy as well as practitioners and
policymakers.
