Employment in Europe – 1990

Extract of Foreword:

This Employment in Europe Report covers a number of important issues and contains a great deal of new information about European employment. However, it should not be seen as a research report. Nor should it be looked to as a source of new policy initiatives - the Community has well developed procedures for that.

Rather, the Report is in the nature of a review which presents the latest employment developmtns and prospects in the European economy in, so far as possible, a quantitative form; discusses a series of current issues which are relevant to understanding present and future structural employment trends; and presents changes in the form and direction of Community and national policies which affect the labour market. Its aim is to stimulate, and provide a basis for, debate and greater understanding.
