Abstract
Structural changes have been occurring in Western economies since the 1970s. It has gradually become apparent that the service sector can no longer absorb the labor force which cannot be employed in the manufacturing or government sectors. In reaction to these structural changes, it was generally felt that the flexibility of the economy should be improved: economic activity should adapt much quicker to changes in its environment.
This article is based on a report entitled Technological Change, Employment, and Skill Formation in Dutch Banking, University of Limburg, Maastricht, April 1989. This report was part of the Dutch contribution to the OECD/CERI-project Technological Change and Human Resources: the Service Sector.
