Unemployment in Europe

Unemployment in Europe: Problems and Policies asks why European unemployment is so high and looks at the policies designed to curb it. The volume examines: * Why European unemployment is so high in relation to the past and to other developed economies; * the special factors at a local level that can affect the level of urban unemployment; *European Union policy on unemployment and the allocation of funds; * Case studies of five major European cities currently experiencing high levels of unemployment; * an analysis of proposals for the future. This work will be a valuable guide for all those interested in the wider aspects of urban unemployment in Europe.
