This process is already underway, particularly in Italy and France, through cuts in social security contributions for lower-paid workers, tighter conditions for drawing unemployment benefits, and tax credits for “the working poor.” Since the mid-1990’s, the relative decline in employment in these countries has, indeed, been slightly reversed.
这一进程已经开始，特别是在意大利和法国。这一进程通过为低工资工人降低社会保险金、更为严格的提取失业福利条件以及为“工薪穷人”提供税收抵免实现。从二十世纪九十年代以来，这些国家的相对就业率下降确实有所扭转。
