Transitional Labour Markets (TLM) - defined as legitimate,
negotiated and politically supported sets of various employment
options in critical events over the life course - are an essential
ingredient of modern full employment strategies. After assessing
the European Employment Strategy, this book offers a detailed
comparative analysis of employment performance for selected
European member states and the United States. It suggests that
successful employment systems arise from a new paradigm of
flexibility and security ('flexicurity') the balance of which
varies according to countries' institutional paths. Whilst there is
no 'best practice', TLM theory does provide normative and
analytical principles that can be generalised for various
institutional settings. This book also provides good practice
examples for managing critical transitions over the life course -
from education to employment, from one job to another, from
unemployment to employment, from private activities to gainful work
and from employment to retirement - and develops the contours for
extending unemployment insurance to work-life insurance. With a
fresh and new approach to the question of full employment in modern
society, this book will appeal to academic scholars interested in
labour market and employment policies, and policy decision makers
at local, regional, national and European level.

Persistent unemployment is recognised as one of the main mechanisms
of social and political exclusion. The Dynamics of Full Employment
provides a new and fresh approach to the question of full
employment in contemporary society. It offers an internationally
comparative, interdisciplinary approach to the dynamics of full
employment and views the labour market not only as an economic
institution, but as a social one. The authors argue that
transitional markets - defined as legitimate, negotiated and
politically supported sets of mobility options - are becoming
essential ingredients of successful employment policies in modern
societies. Social integration through participation in the labour
market should not exclude productive activity in other spheres of
life. The authors attempt to enhance the understanding, through
empirical evidence, of the dynamics of modern labour markets and
the theoretical foundation of transitional labour markets. They
also aim to determine which arrangements (via institutional, legal
and social security frameworks) might best be able to prevent or
relieve structural unemployment. This innovative and original book
will be of interest to both academics and policymakers in the
fields of public policy and labour market, and employment policy in
particular.
This major new Handbook is a detailed, up-to-date guide to
different national labour markets and policies to combat
unemployment and their outcomes. It will become established as a
standard reference book - the first of its kind - providing an
authoritative account of the rapidly growing field of labour market
policy in a coherent and systematic framework.A group of
internationally renowned researchers provides a state-of-the-art
account of research on three levels; an evaluation of the methods
available, an evaluation of policies and policy regimes and an
evaluation of institutional frameworks and monitoring systems.
Unique features of this reference book include the presentation of
a 'Target-Oriented Approach' to evaluating labour market policy.
The Handbook is international in its approach - all chapters apply
an international comparative framework in assessing contemporary
developments in the field. International Handbook of Labour Market
Policy and Evaluation will be an indispensable source of reference
for policymakers, social scientists and academics interested in
labour market policy and policy evaluation.
