Abstract

Bu çalışma, devletin nihai işveren olma rolü (DNİOR) üzerindeki yazını ela almakta ve Arjantin ile Hindistan’daki uygulamaları tartışmaktadır. DNİOR programı, özel sektör istihdamının sürekli bir tamamlayıcısı olarak görülebilir. Böylece, Post Keynesyenler DNİOR’un tam istihdama ulaşılmasında ve sürdürülmesinde kapitalist ekonomilere yardım edebileceğini ileri sürmektedirler. Post Keynesyenler egemen bir ulus için DNİOR programının finansmanının sorun olmayacağını ileri sürmektedirler. Arjantin ve Hindistan deneyimleri şunu göstermektedir: DNİOR programı, çalışmanın anlamının yeniden tanımlanmasına katkı sağlayabilir. Bu çalışma, özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkelerde DNİOR programının uygulanmasını önermektedir.

Post Keynesıan Response Agaınst Neolıberal Polıces In Employment Context: Employer Of Last Resort (Elr)

Abstract

This paper provides a survey of Employer of Last Resort (ELR) and discusses ELR experiences in Argentina and India. An ELR program is seen as a permanent complement to private sector employment. Therefore, Post Keynesian economics suggests that ELR might assist capitalist economies in attaining and maintaining full employment.It argues that for a sovereign nation, there is no question of the financial affordability of an ELR program. Experiences in Argentina and India demonstrate that ELR program can contribute to redefinition of the meaning of work. This paper offers implementation of ELR program, especially for developing countries.
