Employment, the Small Firm and the Labour Market

Overview

This volume provides a rigorous examination of key issues relating to employment in small businesses. These include an analysis of the true extent of job creation provided by small firms, the relative quality of jobs in small firms, the growth of self-employment during the 1980s, and the way in which the small firm interacts with its local labour markets. These issues are examined in an international context, with comparative examples from the USA, the UK, and Europe.
