The 'Employability Gap': towards an understanding of the relationship between long-term unemployment, employability and barriers to work (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McQuaid, R. W., & Lindsay, C. (2000). The 'Employability Gap': towards an understanding of the relationship between long-term unemployment, employability and barriers to work.

This paper seeks to identify the main barriers limiting the employability of long-term unemployed job seekers. Employability (according to Hillage and Pollard’s, 1999, definition) is affected by the interaction of four key elements: employability ass...
