Main themes
The course will deal with the development of economic activity, and relations between the social partners and the government, by stressing the impact on work (e.g. the economic and social geography of Belgium, major developments in employment and skills, and the structuring of employers' associations and trade unions).
The course will also highlight the main sources and means of bibliographical research, and the statistics needed to enable students to study certain issues in more detail when the need for this is felt in other courses; this will be done for a range of reasons including the completion of end-of-course work.
