The book examines important labour market themes from within a European context. The focus is on the core economies of Germany, France and the United Kingdom, but numerous comparisons are made with other economies in Europe. Rejecting the often narrow scope within which labour markets are analyzed in much of the current literature and policy debates, the authors bring a refreshing interdisciplinary perspective to labour market issues including: issues of 'social corporatism' European labour market integration the role of trade unions education and training unemployment and inflation labour mobility. A key feature of the book is its emphasis throughout on discussion of policy, both at the EU and national government levels.
