Description

Full employment policy recommendations are highlighted in this book, based on insights which have been generated in economics for the last 15 years by means of theoretical as well as empirical research. The book consists of two parts; the first part emphasises employment problems in The Netherlands and Belgium, two small open economies which performed badly in the realisation of full employment when compared with other small open economies. The second part of the book adds a broad international dimension to the success (or absence of the success) of the policy in other (open) economies.
