This book seeks to gain a better understanding of the paradoxical
relationship between the alleged need of European labour markets to
become more flexible and the way in which national policies pursue
this aim without jeopardising existing high standards of income and
employment security. Special interest is devoted to the way in
which countries opt for different policy routes to cope with the
aim of balancing flexibility and security goals in their respective
labour market and social protection policies. The contributions in
this book all try to unveil the particular changes or transitions
occurring in the various labour markets, to learn about their
medium and longer term effects and the role of institutions and
policies to cushion the adverse consequences of these changes. By
studying some 'best practices' in Denmark, Canada and Australia
they also draw some important lessons about the reasons why
national policies might either fail or better cope with the
challenges Europe face today. Flexibility and Employment Security
in Europe is a study rich in data that will appeal to advanced
undergraduate and postgraduate students in economics, sociology and
political science and in particular students of the labour market,
social policy and European studies. It will also prove invaluable
to policymakers at regional, national and European level seeking a
greater understanding of the complex issues surrounding, and the
relationship between labour market flexibility and standards of
income and employment security.
