Description

Many supply-side economists single out the Netherlands as a good example of labour market "sclerosis". This study reviews evidence on the changing pattern of unemployment and the degree of flexibility in the Dutch labour market, and considers alternative explanations of the employment malaise in the country. The book proposes a "social contract package" to promote "guided flexibility" while spreading the costs and benefits equitably. It is the third in a well-researched series by noted labour economists.
