Back to Full Employment

John Mills

Chapter 5 in Tackling Britain’s False Economy, 1997, pp 100-131 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract One of the most extraordinary changes which has taken place in Britain, and indeed across most of Western Europe over the past quarter of a century, has been the huge growth in unemployment, and the fatalism with which this has been accepted by the population as a whole. When pollsters ask what people think is the most important problem facing the country, the majority put unemployment high on the list, and often at the top. There is, however, little sign that this concern is being translated into effective action at the policy level. Indeed, there are ominous signs that unemployment problems across Europe, including Britain, may well be on the point of becoming even worse than they are at present.
