Amsterdamned: the rise of unemployment in Amsterdam in the 1980s

Auteur :
KLOOSTERMAN, R.C.

Description :
In the 1970s and the early 1980s, the unemployment rates of Amsterdam and the Netherlands differed only slightly. Among the unemployed in Amsterdam, the proportion of members of the minority population rose considerably. Remarkably enough, the strong divergence manifested itself at a time when employment in Amsterdam began to increase for the first time in almost 20 years. The paper tries to find explanations for this urban paradox by using the mismatch approach.
