Employment in Europe – 1989

Summary:

This 1989 Employment in Europe Report is the first of a series which will be produced annually. It is aimed at a broad readership in the Member States covering business, trade unions and interest groups as well as governments.

Employment and its shadow, unemployment plays a central role in the lives of the Community's population. This report takes a broad view, covering many aspects of employment. It aims to provide a sound basis for discussion about the future development of employment in the Community. Community employment needs to be analysed as a whole. The interrelationships between Member States are becoming more important almost daily. This Report focuses on the effects of this growing interdependency, including the impact on employment of the completion of the Internal Market by 1992. It also considers the effects on employment of the inter-relationship between the Community and the rapidly changing wider world economy.
