Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This discussion paper seeks to offer an overview of the important role performed by active labour market programs (ALMPs) as a key component of labour market policy. A brief summary of the flexicurity approach is followed by an assessment of Australian ALMP provision as a precursor to suggesting potential areas for further strengthening ALMPs as a part of a coherent flexicurity framework suited to Australian circumstances.
