Labour Market and Social Protection Reforms In International Perspective : Parallel or Converging Tracks?

Social protection systems and labour markets have undergone major changes in the past two decades. This book presents the work of an interdisciplinary team of leading experts, labour economists, sociologists and political scientists, which examine the links between employment and social protection financing, the adaptation of social protection systems to women's career patterns and the development of social protection that promotes employment. With practical policy guides and recommendations, this will be engaging reading for policy-makers, social actors and academics alike.
