Unemployment: A Problem of Policy: Analysis of British Experience and Prospects (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780521400343)

The high level of unemployment in Britain in the 1980s led many people to believe that it would continue indefinitely, and many arguments were advanced to explain it. After a preliminary examination of the statistics of employment and unemployment in Britain, this book exposes the major factors determining their trends as a basis for considering the likely developments and possible options for the rest of this century. The study covers most of the explanations found in academic debate as well as in popular belief in order to place different causes of unemployment in perspective, weigh their relative importance and bring out the different time scales in which they operate.
