Description

Richard Layard is one of Britain's foremost applied economists, whose work has had a profound impact on the policy debate in Britain and abroad.

This book contains his most influential articles on the subject of unemployment.

It is published along with a companion volume Inequality , which deals with these topics and with economic transition.

Unemployment explains what causes unemployment and proposes remedies to reduce it.

There is a strong focus on how unemployed people are treated and how this affects unemployment - including Layard's well-known recommendation of a job-guarantee for long term unemployed people.

Other key topics covered are the effect of unions and wage bargaining, the effect of low skill, and the possible role of rigid employment laws.

The book opens with Richard Layard's personal credo Why I became an Economist .
