Chapter 7 in Human Resources, Employment and Development, 1983, pp 97-112 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Since 1973, unemployment has re-emerged as a major problem in all western countries. In the three biggest EC countries — France, Germany2 and the UK — unemployment in the 1960s never represented more than 1 1/4 million people out of a labour force of 70 million, but by 1977–9 the number was never much below 4 million
