Since the beginning of the economic crisis of the 1980s considerable research has been dedicated to the study of the unemployment problem. Nevertheless, the phenomenon has not become fully understood, nor are its consequences adequately prevented. In this volume, economists and social scientists are brought together to offer the reader the latest insights on unemployment and policies regarding unemployment from the perspectives of both disciplines. The book is divided into four main sections. Part One provides an introductory chapter and general overview. Part Two contains contributions that provide new insights from an economic science perspective, while Part Three offers a view from social scientists. The final section is devoted to the examinations of policy issues concerning unemployment.
