Abstract
This report examines and compares case studies of labour market policy responses in APEC economies to natural disasters. It first reviews the policies and practice within APEC economies and internationally in managing the labour market effects of natural disasters. By using comparative case studies, the report then compares recent disaster events in the Asia-Pacific region, including:
- the June 2013 Southern Alberta floods in Canada;
- the 2010 and 2011 Queensland floods in Australia;
- the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand;
- the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan; and
- the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China.
