This monograph takes the perspective that increased awareness of how active labor market programs operate in other nations can substantially improve the way in which the United States deals with worker displacement. Chapter 1 considers the costs of worker displacement and how government programs designed to reduce these costs are evaluated. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the labor market policies in place in the seven countries examined: Sweden, Germany, Japan, Britain, Canada, Australia, and the United States. It investigates a possible linkage between these countries' labor market policies and differences in their unemployment rates. Chapter 3 reviews the evaluation evidence available for demonstration projects and experiments implementing active labor market programs in the United States as well as evaluation reports examining the effectiveness of training and basic education programs in demonstration projects targeted to economically disadvantaged workers. Chapter 4 considers adult retraining programs. It investigates the government training model in Sweden, Britain's employer-led/school-based model, and firm-based training systems in Germany and Japan. Chapter 5 focuses on employment services. It examines carefully the job matching system provided by the Swedish public employment service and job development services supplied by the Canadian Industrial Adjustment Service. Chapter 6 presents findings and outlines an agenda for assisting displaced workers. Appendixes include 148 references and an index. (YLB)

This guide is an update To The 2001 Guide to worker displacement that was published as a response To The Asian financial crisis. The Guide, drawing on experience primarily in North America and during the transition process in Central and Eastern Europe, explores how enterprises, communities and workers can respond To The financial crisis and how to reduce potential job losses. This includes possible strategies for averting layoffs and promoting business retention by communities, enterprise managements and workers' association. The guide is primarily for use in industrialized and transition countries, and is aimed at policy makers, employers and workers in developing appropriate responses that promote worker retention and employment during the recession.
