Summary
In this chapter we examined the role played by governments in creating the context for human resource management
through labour market policies, regulation and legal frameworks. We emphasized the
particular influence of state intervention in developing human capital and growth of
the employment market. Employment legislation sets a framework for the practice of human
resource management but these frameworks vary widely and embody different traditions and
views on the nature of the employment market. We took the European Union as an example and
highlighted a number of initiatives with a human resource focus which were interpreted
differently in member states.
