The efficacy of job-sharing policy

Applied Economics Letters, 2001, vol. 8, issue 7, 437-439

Abstract: The paper examines whether the form of job-sharing strategy adopted in Nordic countries is theoretically effective. This strategy converts workers approaching the age of retirement to part-timers by giving them partial pensions, which thereby creates job openings for younger unemployed workers. This job-sharing results in a Pareto-improvement.
