The West European Employment Problem

Assar Lindbeck

No 466, Working Paper Series from Research Institute of Industrial Economics

Abstract: How do we explain the poor employment performance in Western Europe since about the-1970s? This question is in fact twofold : What initiated the dramatic rise in employment, and waht mechanisms have made it continue for so long? My attemps to answer these questions from the basis for a discussion of various policy options.
