National policies in a global context

Full employment is the theme of this second issue of ""World Employment"". The report includes a global review of recent employment trends and of the major sources of scepticism over the contemporary relevance of full employment. It presents empirical evidence to refute claims that the end of work and jobless growth are now facts of life, and argues that, suitably updated, the objective of full employment remains both highly desirable and attainable.; The book provides policy options for: industrialized countries, including recommendations on how to reverse the drift away from full employment.
