The major unemployment rates that Western societies have been experiencing for over 30 years generate great individual suffering and have become a priority issue for all governments. Many public policies have been deployed to address it, with unconvincing results.<\/p>\n
However, the German case stands out with regard to mass unemployment: its unemployment rate (as defined by the International Labour Office) fell from 11% in 2005 to 3.5% in January 2019. Is German policy the solution?<\/p>\n
Hadrien Clouet <\/a>tackled this question by exploring unemployment in France and Germany in his doctoral work. He focused on the practices of public employment placement agencies, and particularly their part-time position postings. He shows the conditions under which these positions are posted and filled, investigating the underside of the \u201cGerman model\u201d.<\/p>\n Supervised by Didier Demazi\u00e8re<\/a>, researcher at the Center for the Sociology of Organizations (CSO), Hadrien\u2019s thesis has just received the Michael Werner prize<\/a> awarded by the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies and Research on Germany (CIERA).
