More About This Textbook

Overview

The forecasting of mismatches between an economy's skill needs and labor market structures is becoming more and more practiced in the OECD countries. Neugart and Schömann (labor market policy and employment research, Social Science Research Center Berlin, Germany) present 10 papers that describe the methodologies of the forecasting models and describe their use in a number of countries. A key issue discussed is the problems in disseminating forecast information to policymakers. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
