‘This Handbook gives comprehensive information about the different national labour markets, and charts the policies in force to combat unemployment. . . . This Handbook will help politicians as well as scholars to understand as well as improve and adjust the policy instruments that are in place. It is a thorough work, prepared to a high standard, and it will be widely used.’
– European Labour Forum
‘The book sets out to inform rather than excite and to be comprehensive rather than novel; it succeeds on both counts. Each chapter is comprehensive and thorough, containing a good deal of information and neatly summarises much of the existing literature.’
– Chris Martin, The Economic Journal
‘Practitioners may also gain valuable insights into ways to assess the appropriateness of different policy tools and policy approaches and into the requirements for systematic impact evaluation.’
– Economic Outlook and Business Review
‘A more effective labour market policy is a key factor for redressing the present unemployment situation in Europe. I am sure that this International Handbook will prove a very useful tool in the hands of labour market practitioners and policy-makers, as well as scholars, in their endeavours to evaluate, improve and adapt the present range of policy instruments. For its thoroughness, timeliness and excellence of contributions, this is a fundamental reference work for the progress of research in this field.’
– Allan Larsson, European Commission, Belgium
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.
