520 The increased risk of skill obsolescence calls for new
types of education policy that facilitate learning
throughout the life course. I build two indices in order
to express the types of education policy required to
ameliorate this increased risk as well as explore
variation in the degree to which different countries
succeed at developing education policy to address this
risk. Analyzing the origins behind the country rankings on
these two indices, the results from the fuzzy set and
regression analysis underscore a Scandinavian path to high
rankings on both indices buttressed by the key presence of
high left party incumbency and a powerful state. With
respect to the skill transparency index, an additional
path appears plausible consisting of strong right party
incumbency combined with relatively well-organized social
partners and left parties. Also, Christian democratic
incumbency appears particularly hazardous for the
development of policies that secure the transparent
certification of skills. Examining the cases of Denmark,
Germany, and the Netherlands in greater detail provides
evidence first for the role of the various political
factors described above in influencing the development of
education policy. Three thematic groups of education
policies are considered, the comprehensive school movement,
continuing education, and active labor market policies.
Second, firm interviews regarding firms' involvement in
active labor market policies help to delve deeper into the
mechanisms by which mutually beneficial policy outcomes
are facilitated or made more difficult. Although Denmark,
Germany, and the Netherlands have all used active labor
market policies to reintegrate workers into the labor
market, the types of policies each country has pursued as
well as the degree of investment that these policies have
both demanded and received from firms varied
