In the struggle against unemployment and marginalization,
employability has become the one major tool to counteract this
phenomenon. Those who have no chances to develop or enhance their
employability will fail in the competitive labor market of the new
economic order. While the notion of employability is not exactly
new, the weight now being placed upon it is new: to equip job
seekers for the far-reaching changes currently taking place in the
economy and the world of work. What is at stake? Is employability
an instrument for the regulation of the labor market,
distinguishing between the employable and the unemployable? Or is
it a set of measures to facilitate the insertion or reinsertion of
workers into the workforce? Is employability in the future the
defining policy framework for labor market policies? What are the
consequences of such a development for policy makers?
Employability: From Theory to Practice addresses these questions.
Its internationally renowned authors provide a valuable
contribution to the conceptual and operational content of the
notion of employability. The form and content of measures of
employability vary by state, but represent a general trend. Part 1
deals with the concepts and instruments of employability. Part 2
evaluates measures implemented in a number of countries to improve
employability of job-seekers. The countries involved are the UK,
the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, New Zealand, Poland, and
Slovakia. Part 3 showcases a practical approach with Canada, which
in 1996-97 moved from an unemployment to an employment insurance.
This volume shows both the possibilities and limitations of
measures to promote employability. It helps clarify complex policy
questions which will contribute to a better understanding of the
concept for policy makers and administrators. It will help policy
makers, professionals, and scholars assess current trends in the
workplace.
