Working Economics: Labor Policy and Conducive Economy in the Netherlands

TNO Work and Employment

The conducive economy challenges both the conceptual foundations and the practices of present-day economies. In the Netherlands, a few initiatives during the 1980s and early 1990s looked promising, in particular, as these initiatives focused on work quality as one major precondition for reducing disability and enhancing labor participation. Prospects are less bright today. Ever larger slices of governmental monetary, financial, economic, and social policies become market oriented, as distinct from conducivity oriented. The instrument of the covenant, nonetheless, may prove worthwhile in further promoting the banner of work quality.

Key Words: conductivity • capabilities • skills • work quality • participation • disability • knowledge economy • covenants
