So, noch mal über den englischen Text gelesen. Was da an Lösungsvorschlägen kommt ist imho ja ganz schön schwach, um nicht zu sagen, eigentlich ist ja eher eine Bankrott-Erklärung...

"Although all the policies suggested would be beneficial as part of a compensation package for losers in the globalisation process, they also have drawbacks. It is easy to get everyone to agree on the desirability of retraining and re-education programmes. But in practice it has often proved difficult to get good results from such programmes.

To some extent this may have been the consequence of too large programme volumes and by the use of such programmes as qualifying devices for unemployment benefits rather than as
stepping stones to jobs. But the difficulty of forecasting exactly what tasks are likely to be least exposed to competition from low-wage economies calls for caution.

In a world where also some highskilled tasks can be outsourced, higher education in general may not be a guarantee against large wage losses. It has often been pointed out that ability to adapt may be much more important than a high skill level (for example, Baldwin 2007), but it is far from clear how to teach such adaptability."
