| Labour Market Developments in Eastern and Central Europe |
by Guy Standing, 1993 (out of print)
Abstract
The economic reality in the ECE region since the late 1980s has been calamitous. One may quibble about the exact magnitude, yet nobody disputes that the economic decline has been tragic and frightening. And as of late 1992, it was continuing, bringing social discord, wars, ethnic and religious tensions and unhappy memories of things past. This paper reviews the main labour market developments that have emerged from the economic chaos and the pursuit of "structural adjustment" strategies in the countries of the region, drawing in part on ILO studies in seven of the main countries. A basic premise is that without effective micro-level institutional restructuring, including adequate attention to the full range of human development policies, macro-economic stabilisation and adjustment strategies will fail by any decent yardstick.
