Oyewole Taye Salami: Designing a World Without Unemployment, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Across the globe, unemployment is becoming an uncontrollable socioeconomic problem. The book raised a fundamental question: What if unemployment is not an inevitable condition, but a failure of system design? In Designing a World Without Unemployment, Oyewole Taye Salami challenges one of the most persistent assumptions in modern economics: that joblessness is a natural outcome of market forces. Instead, he presents a bold and practical alternative-a participation ecosystem that systematically connects human capability to unmet societal needs. Drawing from economics, public policy, systems thinking, and development theory, this book introduces a new framework for organizing work in the 21st century. Moving beyond traditional labor market solutions, it proposes a coordinated institutional architecture that can generate continuous, meaningful participation at scale. From structural unemployment and institutional fragmentation to global coordination and workforce motivation, the book explores how our societies can redesign employment systems to become more inclusive, resilient, and adaptive. This is not a theoretical exercise, but rather a systems-level solution to a global problem. This book offers: A systemic model for eliminating structural unemployment New approaches to value creation beyond wages Strategies for scaling workforce participation locally and globally A practical roadmap for implementation

For policymakers, economists, development practitioners, and forward-thinking leaders, this book provides a compelling blueprint for rethinking employment in a rapidly changing world. Joblessness is not an option. It is a design failure-and it can be fixed.
