The economic crisis as a trigger of convergence? : short-time work in Italy, Germany and Austria / S. Sacchi, F. Pancaldi, C. Arisi. - Moncalieri : Collegio Carlo Alberto, 2011.
Abstract:
In all European countries, emergency policy measures have been introduced in order to counteract the
employment consequences of the economic crisis. In the context of variously composed anti-crisis
packages, many European countries have used Short-Time Work (STW) schemes, that is measures
to subsidize a temporary reduction in working time intended to maintain an employment relationship.
This article focuses on the issue of whether the economic crisis has spurred any convergence in
the use of STW in three social-insurance countries – Austria, Germany and Italy – or whether
policy change has rather occurred in a path-dependent fashion. In order to do so, the article also
adopts a systemic approach, focusing on relationships of complementarity or functional substitution
and equivalence among the various schemes comprising income maintenance systems to tackle the
risks of partial or total unemployment.
