Active Labor Market Policies to Expand Employment and Opportunity

All advanced industrial nations appear to be experiencing a jobs problem. There simply appear to be too few decent employment opportunities to go around. This difficulty manifests itself somewhat differently in different countries. But no Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) nation appears to have been able to fully escape rising wage inequality (sometimes coupled with declining real earnings for. low-wage workers), weak employment growth combined with secular increases in unemployment, or both of these phenomena.
