Niektóre sposoby redukcji bezrobocia strukturalnego (w świetle doświadczeń krajów członkowskich OECD)

Abstract

The author has presented in this article some ways of reducing structural unemployment in the OECD countries. The article is based, among others, on the second report of the panel commission operating within the OECD entitled Neaeures to assist workers displaced by structural change. A general principle is an attempt to adjust actively and rapidly to the occurring structural changes. For this purpose there are applied various measures addressed primarily to displaced workers, which is accompanied by different instruments allowing to exert an influence on employers. The effectiveness of these measures tends to differ. Among the most effective ones prove to be: advanced notices about dismissals, Job search assistance, and rapid response capability. On the other hand, among rather ineffective measures arei temporary public service employment, early retirement, and re-location or mobility assistance to other spheres. The success of structural market adaptations, which was unanimously underlined by the states encompassed by the report, is dependent upon the state of economy, on whether it can offer an indispensable number of jobs, and possesses sufficient funds for such adaptations.
