18 Foreword For many decades now, Raja Junankar s writings have been renowned for their concentration on vital social issues arising from the malfunctioning of economies, careful gathering of data, sensible, down-to-earth econometric analysis of it and the provision of humane practical policies with which to tackle the social ills revealed. It is excellent and fitting that the essays of this fine economist have now been gathered together in a number of volumes. The present volume is concerned with his many contributions to the economics of the labour market, emphasising the causes and costs of unemployment in both developed and developing economies. His case studies include Britain, continental Europe and Australia, with an especially important essay on unemployment among Australia s indigenous communities. The author has included a valuable introduction that discusses the characteristics of various competing theories of why unemployment occurs and what can be done about it. Junankar emphasises especially the role of insufficient aggregate demand as a primary cause of involuntary unemployment. He also writes sensibly about technological and structural unemployment. Especially helpful is the contrast he brings out between the nature of unemployment in developed economies as compared to that in developing economies. All said, this is a volume that contains astute analysis of fundamental principles and processes, to which he has brought a compassionate stance to complement his dispassionate analyses and criticisms.

19 Preface and Acknowledgements My interest in Labour Economics was first aroused by a set of lectures at the University of Essex by Professor Frank Brechling in the early 1970s. While I was a lecturer at the University of Essex I had several colleagues who provided me with an excellent environment for learning. I had the pleasure of having Professor Tony Atkinson as a colleague and mentor. Subsequently, I worked at the University of Warwick in the Institute for Employment Research where my work on Labour Economics continued. On joining the Australian National University I worked with Professor Bob Gregory, Professor Bruce Chapman and Dr Cezary Kapuscinski on various aspects of Australian labour markets. Although I have not published jointly with Bob Gregory, he has been an important mentor to me. Since I joined UNSW Australia I have had the pleasure of working with Professor G.C. Harcourt and Associate Professor Peter Kriesler who have given me wonderful support. I am grateful to all the above-mentioned people and to many other colleagues of mine who have helped me in my intellectual journey. This book is a selected collection of my published papers over many years that investigate the labour market in Britain, Europe, Indonesia, and Australia. xxi
