Synopsis
Twenty-two researchers and scholars from Europe, Japan, the U.S., Australia, and Canada investigate displaced workers in developed countries. The comparative analysis approach pairs two countries in each of five chapters the U.S. and the Netherlands, Japan and Canada, Britain and Australia, France and Germany, and Belgium and Denmark. Each chapter describes the institutions likely to affect displacement in the two specific countries, and the data used and general economic conditions prevailing during the data collection, and then analyzes the frequency of displacement, and effects of displacement on employment and unemployment and on wages. For scholars, students and researchers in economics, business, and labor issues. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
