LABOUR MARKET REGULATION AND DEREGULATION:
CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS IN THE 21ST CENTURY
(www.yorku.ca/research/crws)
DECEMBER 1 -2, 2000 YORK UNIVERSITY, TORONTO, CANADA
Labour Market Regulation and Deregulation: Challenges and Prospects in the
21st Century is an international conference sponsored by York University's
Centre for Research on Work and Society (CRWS). The conference is the culmination
of activities CRWS' Working Group on Labour Market Regulation and
Deregulation, a circle of over 30 researchers drawn from several academic
disciplines and non-academic environments from around the world. The Working
Group, co-chaired by Jim Stanford, an economist with the Canadian Auto
Workers, and Leah Vosko, a professor of Labour Studies and Political Science
at McMaster University, is motivated by the need to challenge the currently
dominant view that policies of labour market "flexibility", modelled on the
US experience, offer an effective means of reducing long-run unemployment
and promoting economic growth.
FORMAT AND PARTICIPATION
The one and a half day event features approximately 25 speakers (including a
keynote address) from around the world covering today's most challenging
labour market regulation issues. Five panels will include presentations by a
group of international scholars followed by discussion and commentary from
all conference participants.
The cutting-edge analysis of current processes of labour market regulation
and deregulation from a multi-disciplinary perspective will appeal to a wide
range of researchers and policy makers. The conference will give all
participants the opportunity to meet and discuss viable alternatives to the
dominant policy framework of continued labour market (de)regulation.
