In the post-World War II era, the U.S. government’s full employment policy led to rapid mechanization of production by reducing the cost of financing investment. The mechanization of production displaced more blacks than whites because blacks were disproportionately unskilled. In addition, the growth in the import of manufactured goods further reduced the demand for unskilled labor. The author argues that the government should fill the gap with government employment and should discourage imports from developing countries.

The transition from school to work is recognized by developmental psychologist as a significant phase in the maturation of young people. The likelihood that the transition might be delayed by a period of prolonged unemployment is now greater than at any time since the 1930s. The psychological consequences of such a delay need to be understood because they may be damaging both to the individual and to society, particularly if they are long-lasting. Such an understanding is essential for the devleopment of sound policy in relation to youth unemployment. Growing up with Unemployment is a major lo

Since the 1970s the average level of unemployment in Australia has risen each decade. This has imposed huge economic, social and human costs, making unemployment one of the most pressing problems confronting Australia. This book argues that the current approaches of wage cuts and labor market flexibility will not solve the unemployment problem. Rather, the main solution is not wage cuts but job growth. This important book points to a way beyond the current policy malaise and offers detailed solutions to unemployment.

The sectoral composition of economies is fundamental to the understanding of growth, unemployment and the relative performance of nations. Henri de Groot models the relationship between these four factors from a single theoretical perspective in order to determine the foundations of the wealth of nations. Special issues that are addressed include: the macroeconomic consequences of outsourcing and downsizing unemployment and catching-up the relationship between growth and unemployment in a dual labor market the relative stagnancy of Europe versus the USA in terms of productivity leve

This book studies the coexistence of inflation and unemployment in a monetary union. The focus is on how to reduce the associated loss. The primary target of the European central bank is low inflation in Europe. The primary target of the German government is low unemployment in Germany. And the primary target of the French government is low unemployment in France. The European central bank has a quadratic loss function. The same applies to the German government and the French government. The key questions are: To what extent can the sequential process of monetary and fiscal decisions reduce th
