Unemployment in Europe - Problems and Policies (Hardcover)

Unemployment is the most serious economic and social problem currently confronting the European Union. Although the extent varies from region to region, it is generally most extreme in large cities. Over recent years it has continued to increase, despite a plethora of active labour market policies to combat it. The author looks at unemployment in Europe, asks why it is so high and looks at the policies designed to curb it. The volume examines a number of issues including unemployment in Europe contrasted with other developing economies; the special factors at a local level that can affect the level of urban unemployment; European Union policy on unemployment and the allocation of funds; case studies of five major European cities currently experiencing high levels of unemployment; and an analysis of proposals for the future. This work should be a valuable guide for all those interested in the wider aspects of urban unemployment in Europe.
