Depression Unemployment Union Wage Rigidity and Employment Subsidies

Abstract

As the contemporary recession has unfolded in the United Kingdom, increasing reliance has been placed by the government on measures of employment subsidisation to contain the accompanying rise in unemployment. Employment subsidy programmes of varying natures have also been introduced in a large number of other Western countries, including France, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, Finland, Sweden and Ireland.
