| This course explores the functioning of the labour market and the effect of employment policies on it. The labour market and especially the phenomenon of unemployment is initially treated theoretically in the context of the different schools of economic thought (Marxist, Neoclassical) and presented from the perspective of its historical evolution, both internationally and domestically. Subsequently the past and current policies to address unemployment and its consequences and to promote employment are examined. This analysis is done from the perspective of both economic and social policy, since employment policy is a field that unites those policies. The aim of the course is to make students aware of the labour market situation in Greece, the causes and incidence of unemployment, policies followed for dealing with it and the current debate about their effectiveness.
Upon completion of the course students should be able to: • understand the Functioning of Labour Markets in Greece and in general. • understand the way different economic and social theories analyse Labour Market. • understand the factors that shape the supply and demand of goods and the factors of production. • be able to read and understand scientific articles on Labour Market issues. • know the causes and various forms of unemployment • know all unemployment policies • to understand and critically evaluate the connection of every employment policy to the various economic theories. |
