UNDERSTANDING UNEMPLOYMENT: THE NEED FOR A SOCIAL PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

There is no shortage of arguments about the causes of unemployment and its potential solutions. The attention given to the problem is only matched by the failure to achieve a useful analysis. The article looks at why this should be so, and attempts to indicate the potential of a more social perspective for understanding the nature and causes of unemployment.
