Preferred term

labor policy  

Definition

  • Government involvement and scholarly interest in labor policy have been consistently strong for several decades. The post–oil shock unemployment crisis of the 1970s, combined with the growing importance of the service versus the manufacturing sector in the industrialized world that followed, created conditions of economic hardship that, for most governments, were serious enough to mandate substantive policy responses.
