Increasingly, the governments of virtually all industrialised
countries are confronted with persistent problems of unemployment
and low pay for those with little formal education and few skills.
To combat this growing problem, various countries are utilising
different remedies - usually with disappointing results.Policy
Measures for Low-Wage Employment in Europe is a focused and
up-to-date set of studies highlighting several important new
findings. The book considers in-depth policy measures in the areas
of taxation, benefits and employer subsidies aimed at the
low-skilled and illustrates the limitations of short-term
solutions. The policy debate is extended to encompass the role of
product demand related to low-paid, low-skilled work and to the
functioning of the labour market. In particular, the study
investigates the role of job satisfaction and turn over in two
major low-paying sectors - the retail trade and the hotel industry.
This book will prove a valuable contribution to the literature for
labour economists and policymakers at European and national level
and policy officers of trade union and employment organisations.
Those interested in labour market problems will also find the work
to be a fascinating read.
