Full Employment, Social Welfare, and Equity

The seminar focuses on the analytical and policy issues connected with the question of full employment. These include cross-national perspectives, primarily in other industrialized economies; changes on both the supply and demand sides of US labor markets; relevance of theoretical analyses of macro- and micro-aspects; changes in the content and organization of work; corporate and union roles, etc. The purpose is to identify and clarify the more difficult and central intellectual questions which relate to and affect the national commitment and capability to assure full employment over long periods.
