Compendium of Publications of The Geneva Association
The Employment Dilemma and the Future of Work
by Orio Giarini and Patrick M. Liedtke, 2nd edition, The Geneva Association, Geneva, 2006 (164
pages).
This book, a bestseller which has been translated into eight languages, was
originally published as a Report to the Club of Rome. The first question it considers
is that in order to achieve full employment one must understand the fundamental
changes of today’s economy. This book is largely devoted to the consequences
of the fact that service functions have become dominant in all the sectors of the
economy, and in particular, in the industrial and manufacturing sectors, in the
last 30 years. This implies that the growth in services is not merely a question
concerning the tertiary sector but also overall fundamental economic changes.
This influences both the quantity and the quality of employment possibilities
available. It also addresses the fact that the lengthening of the life cycle increases
the possibility for partial employment for all those over 60 years of age.
Also available in Bulgarian, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Korean, Romanian and Spanish.
Working Beyond 60 – Key Policies and Practices in Europe
by Geneviève Reday-Mulvey, 2005, Palgrave Macmillan, Basingstoke U.K.,
ISBN 1-4039-4796-1 (220 pages)
Because of demographic challenges, recent EU pension reforms encourage later
and more flexible retirement. Increasing the participation of “older” workers is
therefore crucial to implementing these reforms. While the question of why work
beyond 60 has now become obvious, the how and for whom questions are the
real topic of this new study by one of the best European specialists in the area.
This book provides an in-depth analysis of the growing importance of work
beyond 60 and a comparative discussion of new policies in several EU Member
States (Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany,
France, Italy, Switzerland and others) as well as of company best practice.
