Labour Market Inequalities: Problems and Policies of Low-Wage Employment in International Perspectiveby Mary Gregory
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Contributions to this volume review, in international perspective, the "European social model" of collective bargaining, minimum wages, employment rights, and social welfare support, which is seen as both cause and cure for joblessness and low-wage employment in Europe. They find that collective bargaining and minimum wages protect vulnerable workers, while wage flexibility is not economically effective in creating jobs for the low-skilled. Synopsis:Low-skilled workers face a future of joblessness or low-wage, insecure employment as technological change and globalization impact on the advanced economies and the European social model is alternately cited as both cause and cure. The contributions to this text review the evidence. Table of Contents Introduction, Mary Gregory, Wiemer Salverda, and Stephen Bazen 1.
