Employment 'Miracles'

This critical survey of the 'miracle economies' of the 1990s, analyses the role of the relatively small size of the national economies in question, and of accidental external circumstances which contributed to favourable developments. The contributors examine the rise in the 1990s of the model status of the smaller economies such as Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Finland and Switzerland, and the accounts given for their success, in the context of each country's employment market and policy.
