Tóm tắt

Unemployment has become one of the key challenges for European member states and the process of further economic integration as one approaches the later years of the 1990s. The main question concerns how exactly should Europe tackle this problem? Also what strategies could be adopted and does Europe have an effective strategy? Analysis would suggest that Europe is trying to strike a balance between a variety of theoretical perspectives which emphasizes the complexity of the problem. It is also important to examine the future trends of this worrying problem and see whether it is likely to be a key issue for debate in the years ahead.
