"Severance pay, a program that provides compensation to workers on
termination of employment, is the most widely used income
protection program for the unemployed-yet it is often blamed for
creating economic inefficiencies such as reducing employment and
limiting access to jobs for disadvantaged groups. Reforming
Severance Pay: An International Perspective fills the knowledge gap
in evaluating the international experience by providing a
collection of worldwide overviews and labor market impact
assessments, theoretical analyses, and country case studies. The
authors summarize the performance of existing severance pay
arrangements around the world and discuss recent innovative
severance pay reforms in Austria, Chile, and the Republic of Korea.
Reforming Severance Pay proposes policy directions based on country
characteristics such as folding severance pay of higher income
coun--tries into existing social insurance programs and making
severance pay a contractual affair between market partners to live
up to the efficiency-enhancing device in a knowledge-based economy.
For lower income countries, the authors advise reforming severance
pay toward realistic benefit levels, strengthening compliance of
benefit payments by the employer, and safeguarding minimum
benefits. This report will be of interest to policy makers and
researchers working on labor market, unemployment benefit, and
pension issues; economic policy reform; poverty reduction; and
social analysis and policy."
