| Abstract: | How do we explain the poor employment performance in Western Europe since about the mid-1970s? This question is in fact twofold: what initiated the dramatic rise in unemployment and what mechanisms have made it continue for so long? The author's attempts to answer these questions form the basis for a discussion of various policy opinions. The main point of the paper is the complex interaction between different explanatory factors behind the West European employment problem. Unfortunately, this complexity makes it difficult to test and estimate attempted explanations. |
