Abstract

China’s labor market is facing a policy and legal dilemma of balanced flexibility and security adjustment. Under the condition of the continuous development of new economic conditions such as sharing economy and platform economy, the new employment pattern of the labor market presents new challenges to the current legal system.

Summary

Introduction

According to the World Bank statistics for 2009, the level of economic development and unemployment show a negative correlation with the level of labor market regulation in a country. Due to the different degrees of legal adjustment in the labor market, there are differences in the impact on a country‟s employment structure and economic behavior. The higher the degree of labor market regulation, the more rigid the labor market and the slower the level of economic development, which is one of the reasons for the weak economic growth, high unemployment rate, and the slow adjustment of the country‟s industrial structure. 2. The Employment Protection System Represented by the United States and Britain Judging from the main ways of employment protection in the world, there are four main types of current employment protection models: the first type is the lower protection type. Britain and the United States are typical representative countries; The second type is a relatively high level of social protection, typically represented by Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, and other countries; The third type is to provide workers with higher employment protection, and the level of social protection is relatively low, of which Spain, Portugal, Greece, Japan, Italy and so on are typical representative countries; The fourth type is the high level of employment protection, and the level of social protection remains high, with France and Germany as typical representative countries.
