Abstract

'Improving the functioning of the labour market' has been a consistent theme of the Conservative governments which have held office in the UK since 1979, first under Margaret Thatcher and then John Major. This paper will give an overview of the major policy measures which have been introduced by the UK governments since 1979, then review the microeconomic evidence for their impact, and finally attempt as assessment of their impact on macroeconomic performance and prospects.
