Active Labor Market Policies in Europe
Measures of Active Labor Market Policy - such as training, wage subsidies, public employment measures, and job search assistance - are widely used in European countries to combat unemployment. This study provides novel insight on this important policy issue by discussing the role of the European Commission's Employment Strategy, reviewing the experiences made in European states, and giving the first ever quantitative assessment of the existing cross-country evidence.
Evaluation of German Active Labour Market Policies and their Organisational Framework
For selected target groups, such as unemployed and disadvantaged youth, Christoph Ehlert demonstrates that flexible and well-targeted programmes significantly improve employment chances. To be effective, these programmes must combine individual coaching, classroom training and temporary work. Apart from the programmes, the organisational framework in which the programmes are allocated also influences the outcome. The author shows that the introduction of customer service centres, that streamlined the customers through the counselling and placement process, helped little in bringing unemployed back to work, while the introduction of action programmes even worsened the situation for the unemployed and job-seekers. Whereas the introduction of new placement software in German employment agencies led to an increase in regular employment and to more sustainable placements that exhibit longer tenures.
Verhängnisvoller Deal
Joachim Winterstein, Geschäftsführer einer renommierten Firma in Lörrach, war ein erfolgreicher, aber auch ausgekochter Geschäftsmann, dessen Nebengeschäfte und sonstigen Aktivitäten vor dem Auge des Gesetzes nicht immer auf Wohlwollen gestoßen wären. Daher sah er sich auch immer wieder mal genötigt, ungeliebte Mitwisser durch großzügige Vereinbarungen zum Stillhalten zu bringen. Doch einer dieser Deals stellte sich als verhängnisvoll heraus.
The Hirschy Genealogy

Qualifikation + Leiharbeit = Klebeeffekt?
Wie gelingt es, gering qualifizierte Jugendliche in den Arbeitsmarkt zu integrieren? Wie können deren Motivation und deren Kompetenzen verbessert werden? Kann eine intelligente Kombination von Zeitarbeit, Qualifizierung und individuellem Coaching arbeitslosen Jugendlichen den Weg in reguläre Beschäftigung ebnen? Diesen Fragen widmete sich ein wissenschaftlich begleitetes Modellprojekt, das die Bundesagentur für Arbeit gemeinsam mit einem überregionalen Leiharbeitsunternehmen in mehreren SGB-IIArbeitsgemeinschaften durchgeführt hat. Die Ergebnisse der Wirkungsanalysen und Implementationsstudien sind in diesem Band dokumentiert. Die Studie vermittelt dabei wichtige Erkenntnisse über die Chancen und Probleme, die aus einer Public Private Partnership im Bereich der Arbeitsmarktpolitik erwachsen.
The Changing Politics and Policy of Austerity
This collection of original essays explores the myriad expressions of austerity since the 2008 financial crisis. Case studies drawn from Canada, Australia and the European Union provide extensive comparative analysis of fiscal consolidation and the varied political responses against austerity. Contributions examine such themes as privatization, class mobilization and resistance, the crisis of liberal democracy and the rise of the far right. The potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in shaping future austerity and alternatives is signalled. Given the rapidly shifting terrain, this comprehensive handbook provides important insights into a complex and fast-changing period of politics and policy.
Modern Hungers
During World War I and II, modern states for the first time experimented with feeding--and starving--entire populations. Within the new globalizing economy, food became intimately intertwined with waging war, and starvation claimed more lives than any other weapon. As Alice Weinreb shows in Modern Hungers, nowhere was this new reality more significant than in Germany, which struggled through food blockades, agricultural crises, economic depressions, and wartime destruction and occupation at the same time that it asserted itself as a military, cultural, and economic powerhouse of Europe. The end of armed conflict in 1945 did not mean the end of these military strategies involving food. Fears ...

While the Internet is trumpeted as a great job creator, there are also downsides that need to be identified and dealt with.

Is it a winner-takes-all tournament? What models can facilitate adjustment without slowing innovation? This book features essays from major experts in the field coming from academia, international organizations, the private sector, and civil society. It blends theoretical and applied research presenting results from many countries, with particular emphasis on Europe, the USA, Canada and Asia.
