Η εφαρμογή των ενεργητικών πολιτικών απασχόλησης στην Ελλάδα. Οι Ευρωπαϊκές κατευθύνσεις και η υλοποίησή τους σε εθνικό επίπεδο

Abstract

Unemployment is one of the most serious problems facing Western societies in recent years. Unemployment rates have risen since the 1970s, prompting governments to promote active labour market policies as one of the tools to tackle unemployment. The implementation of active labour market policies has expanded mainly from the 1990s onwards, when both the OECD and then the European Union began to place particular emphasis on these policies in order to reduce high unemployment and increase employment. In Greece, active labour market policies began to be implemented within the framework of the country's obligations to the instructions and directions of the European Union. In the present essay is being examined through the study of the theory and the policies that have been promoted so far, both in the European Union and in Greece, the existence of any shortcomings or imperfections in the design and implementation of active labour market policies in Greece.
