Working out of the Recession
Just how should the world's governments tackle the spectre of unemployment? Create new jobs to pull their economies out of recession? Or concentrate on saving the jobs that already exist?
Business Weekly lines up for the unemployment office - but how much should governments everywhere be spending? And should they be concentrating on saving existing jobs or creating new ones?
In Germany they pay a million people to work shorter hours or to stay at home. They call it Kurzarbeit, literally "short work". But is it worth the money?
And where there is no such safety net - half a world away in Indonesia, where the search for work is desperate and a major issue in the country's election this week.
