Summary:

Reviews the employment situation in Central European economies in transition, for social scientists concerned with unemployment and labor issues as well as transition issues. Shows how the interaction of the socialist legacy and policy choices have affected unemployment and the labor market in the largest Central European economies. Considers integration of Central and Eastern European labor markets into the European Union, asking whether post-communist economies are likely to undergo a transitional, temporary phase of high unemployment, or whether they are liable to develop chronic high unemployment rates. Mickiewicz teaches economic restructuring at University College-London; Bell is social science analyst at the Europe Branch of the Office of Research, US Department of State. c. Book News Inc.
