Over the past twenty years European labour markets have seen the
simultaneous rise of unemployment and working-time flexibility.
While unemployment generates widespread concern about social
exclusion, the reorganisation of flexible working-time has been
greeted with more ambivalence. The concept of Transitional Labour
Markets (TLMs) is an attempt to address and analyse the factors and
policies that can prevent high levels of unemployment and exclusion
from paid work.This book addresses three key questions: Can
working-time flexibility integrate more people into paid
employment? Can working-time flexibility prevent unemployment? Is
it possible for the barriers between core and peripheral employment
to become more permeable in the way advocated by the concept of
TLMs? Drawing on both quantitative longitudinal panel study data
and qualitative case study material, the authors (whose expertise
is drawn from the fields of economics, sociology and law) provide
an original perspective on the nature and implications of TLMs in
Spain, Sweden, Ireland, Britain, Germany, France and The
Netherlands. This will be essential reading for both academics and
policymakers in the field of labour market policy.
