Many blame the structure of labor markets for the prolonged recession. Closer examination shows that although many member-countries’ labor markets need reform, more blame for the prolonged recession should be placed on inappropriate monetary and fiscal policies adopted to manage the single currency in the crisis.Contact: Yannis Ioannides, See also:- [ Elsewhere at Harvard ](/events/elsewhere) Share on:- [ Facebook ](#) - [ Twitter ](#) - [ Linkedin ](#) Save: [ Add to calendar calendar\_today ](https://history.fas.harvard.edu/node/302851/event-feed.ics) Copy link link
