Three Cheers for the Unemployed: Government and Unemployment Before the New Deal
ISBN: 9780521400411 / Angielski / Twarda / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book describes the beginning and development of unemployment reform until the New Deal. As a consequence of large scale industrialization after the Civil War, joblessness could no longer be understood to be caused by a character defect, but had to be ascribed to societal forces.

Social Reproduction
ISBN: 9780521418720 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An important characteristic of labour which distinguishes it from capital is that it bears the costs of its own sustenance, the extent to which it does so varying with different institutional arrangements. Economic theory has generally overlooked this, one consequence being that it has negelected the distinctive role played by women. This book traces the deepening insensitivity of post-classical economic theory to this issue, taking the 1834 Poor Law and the reassessment of it in 1909 as illustrations of the social implications of this theoretical inadequacy. These examples reveal the general...

Labour Markets in an Ageing Europe
ISBN: 9780521443982 / Angielski / Twarda / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The EC population grew by 17% during 1960-90 but will fall by 2% by 2025. The dramatic growth in the number of Europe's pensioners and the rapid aging of its working population may call for active policies to improve the quantity or quality of the labor force. In this volume, demographers and labor economists investigate these options by comparing recent demographic and labor market developments in Western and Eastern Europe with those in the United States and Japan.

The Natural Rate of Unemployment: Reflections on 25 Years of the Hypothesis
ISBN: 9780521483308 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The natural rate of unemployment hypothesis proposed in the 1960s has dominated thought about the causes of, and possible solutions to, unemployment. It asserts that only supply-side measures can achieve sustainable reductions in unemployment. In the 1980s, however, European unemployment rates rose sharply, despite supply-side innovations to economic policy inspired by the hypothesis. These essays reflect retrospectively on the state of the hypothesis and look forward to the emergence of a new wisdom regarding unemployment.

ISBN: 9780521552301 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The significant store of knowledge about publicly regulated pensions for old age has grown even more rapidly in the past decade.

ISBN: 9780521554374 / Angielski / Twarda / 410 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the mid-1970s, there have been surges in productivity in a number of countries, in particular in the UK under the Thatcher government.

Chapters cover the UK, the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, Belgium, Norway and Sweden, and comparisons also include Germany and the Netherlands. Using a variety of the most up to date methods of analysis, the contributors show that there is no single simple explanation. Changes in competitive...

Corporatism or Competition?
ISBN: 9780521590730 / Angielski / Twarda / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Corporatism or Competition? is concerned with the importance of institutions in determining labor market outcomes. There has been a great deal of research in the past ten years comparing wage differences, wage movements and employment behavior in different countries, none of which has been brought together in an organized and coherent fashion. The aim of this book is to fill the gap. The book is destined to become a standard work in labor economics.

The Unemployment Crisis in Australia: Which Way Out?
ISBN: 9780521643504 / Angielski / Twarda / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 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 important book points to a way beyond the current policy malaise and offers detailed solutions to unemployment.
