Document Details : Title: Can Low-Productivity Jobs Be Decent? Author(s): SWEENEY, J. Journal: Ethische Perspectieven Volume: 5 Issue: 1 Date: April 1995 Pages: 40-42 DOI: 10.2143/EPN.5.1.562976 Abstract : In this paper I explore the options that are currently open to, or being proposed for, the least skilled in the European Union's workforce. It is a part of a doctoral project at the Center for Economics and Ethics on the Issue of long-term unemployment. In more detail, he is examining the relative merits of income transfers on their own (a guaranteed minimum income), different types of sheltered employment (the social economy, a new tier to the public sector), and wage subsidies in the open economy, for mow-productivity workers as paths to social justice and economic efficiency. |
