  • 89 Accesses

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to highlight the imbalance in the labour markets of the EMU countries, an imbalance marked by a considerable excess in labour supply compared to labour demand. It is our intention to describe the characteristics of this imbalance and evaluate the decisions taken by national and European institutions in an effort to solve the problem. There are three references which allow us to introduce the subject into the present day context.
