Book Description
The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) was founded in 1986 with the intent of widening the debate on U.S. economic policies by presenting analyses that provide an alternative point of view from those of various conservative research institutions. The two papers presented in this document were originally prepared for a seminar designed to identify principles upon which new labor market policies might be launched. In "The Possibilities of Employment Policy", Paul Osterman argues that current programs isolate and stigmatize their clients. Programs for dislocated workers respond to emergencies in an inevitably limited way, and current political support for employment and training systems is limited. Revived programs should include an expansion of eligibility, a unification of programs under a broadly representative local agency, a rethinking of the entry process for young people, and an expansion of the general training made available to employed adults. In "A New Labor Market Agenda" Ray Marshall also advocates a broad national strategy, but stresses that tight budgets require quality programs be built for those who most need them. He points out that graduates of proven programs such as the Job Corps are not stigmatized, and that such programs should be fully funded. Existing programs should be strengthened by developing managerial capacities and pursuing a consistency in funding. Basic education in the school systems is a major factor determining the success or failure of programs such as the adjustment of dislocated workers or the breaking of inter-generational poverty. Discussions by seminar participants follow each paper, and a list of EPI study series, working papers, and briefing papers is included. (PPB)

Shaping Tomorrow's Workforce
Author: National Alliance of Business
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Labor supply
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
Increased international competition, rapid technological innovation, and profound demographic changes have all created an urgent need for a skilled and capable work force. The work force development system that has been assembled over the years in the United States is extensive; however, the goals and services provided by a wide range of public and private agencies have never been integrated. Efforts to integrate these diverse resources and reform the nation's labor force development policy must include more attention to the following: public-private partnership, coordinated service delivery, program accountability, and decentralized program administration. The implementation of a demand-driven, decentralized, and flexible work force demands a new role for the federal government. The federal government should take the following actions: build a federal partnership, support state reorganization efforts, improve state and local coordination, ensure program accountability, develop flexible targeted programs, and leverage additional resources. Current policies concerning job training for the disadvantaged, vocational education, welfare, worker adjustment, employment service, unemployment insurance, labor market information, and elementary secondary education must all be reassessed and reformed to increase coordination among all levels of government and the private sector.
