The author then turns to employment. Already affected by problems with education, employment is fettered by structural issues, ranging from inflexible labour laws...

Add to this the weight of a deepening debt crisis among western nations, which continues unabated, and Europe has a very deep financial hole to climb out of. In this work, Dimitris N. Chorafas provides the reader with evidence to poor political judgment,...
