It is not.Although the report must be applauded for the wide range of topics it addresses, it presumes its conclusions and is highly selective with its evidence, giving it a lot in common with political propaganda.There are a host of peer-reviewed studies in eminent journals that come to opposite conclusions about the usefulness of many of the Commission's proposals for domestic reform, including instituting minimum wage laws, beefing up welfare transfers, and tightening employment regulation.2Heckman J Pagés-Serra C The cost of job security regulation: evidence from Latin American labor markets.Economia. 2000; 1: 109-144Google Scholar, 3Daniel K Siebert W Does employment protection reduce the demand for unskilled labour?.Int Econ J. 2005; 15: 197-222Crossref Scopus (15) Google Scholar Excessive government intervention in these areas has been shown to entrench unemployment and perpetuate poverty.
