Description: "Job Creation brings together a distinguished group of contributors from the fields of economics, management and industrial relations. The authors rigorously examine how labor market institutions shape employment performance and assess issues such as unemployment benefits, job security provisions and collective bargaining. The authors also focus on public policy and the reform of current institutions and assess their effect on the adaptation of the labor force to the changing demands of international markets. Regulatory changes are proposed to facilitate the adjustment and competitiveness of both companies and workers in order to increase the creation of jobs." "Job Creation will be required reading for scholars of labor economics, labor markets and public policy as well as practitioners and policy makers."--Jacket.
