| Description: |
One of the major problems facing the European Union today is that of high unemployment, often seen as a result of the increasingly globalized world economy. This book provides the first comprehensive set of studies on the impact of trade with developing countries on the European labour market. It argues that it is not trade with LDCs that is at the heart of Europe's unemployment problem, but the impact of technological change and domestic policies.As a result, protectionist policies are to be avoided at all osts. |
| Synopsis: |
In the last 25 years, Europe has experienced a reduction in growth and an explosion in unemployment. At a time when this and the continuing existence of the welfare state are top of the European agenda, it has become increasingly popular to blame the globalization of the world economy for current problems. This book provides the first comprehensive set of studies on the impact of trade with developing countries on the European labour market. It argues that the evidence does not point to trade with developing countries as a major cause of European unemployment. Instead, technological change and domestic policy choices are the main causal factors. As a result, the contributors argue against protectionist trade polices, whose benefits to employment would be limited at best, but whose risk to world growth due to trade wars is immense. The next ten years are a critical period for European integration and expansion: Trade and Jobs in Europe will be of crucial importance to all those at the heart of the current debate: advisers, policy-makers, and researchers alike. |
