Summary

This volume presents the concept and history of work sharing, how it can be used as a strategy for preserving jobs and also its potential for increasing employment including the complexities and trade-offs involved. Work-sharing programmes used during the Great Recession of 200809 are analysed for several European countries (Germany's Kurzarbeit, and measures in Austria, Belgium, France and the Netherlands) and other countries around the world (Japan, Turkey, the United States and Uruguay). The volume synthesizes the lessons learned from these recent experiences and their implications for policy, and also considers how work sharing might go beyond being solely a crisis response tool to contribute to improved individual well-being, more sustainable economies, and ultimately, more equitable societies --, Provided by Publisher
