In the late 1980s a consensus appeared to have emerged that a level of unemployment around 1.6 million was satisfactory. The subsequent rise in unemployment showed that this satisfaction was misplaced. The British economy remains an economy of unemployment', vulnerable to cyclical recession and large scale job loss. Why this should be so and what was wrong with policy towards unemployment and the labour market are the twin foci of this book. Its emphasis is on the analysis of the structure of unemployment and through this the identification of responsible policies which could address unemployment. Understanding Unemployment includes contributions from economics, sociology, social policy, law, psychology and geography. It addresses such crucial issues as the nature of labour supply and demand, employer recruitment practices, the effect of unemployment on individuals and families and the potential impact of European integration. Taken together, they offer new and positive perspectives on unemployment and on the nature of effective, active labour market policies.
