Abstract
Labour market flexibility: clues for a better balance Labour market flexibility: clues for a better balance In order to strike a better balance between the advantages and the disadvantages of flexible forms of employment, the government intends to reform the existing dismissal protection and unemployment legislation, whilst at the same time taking initiatives to strengthen the position of those on flexible employment contracts. The question is, however, whether this double aim can be achieved with the measures proposed by the government. Are they capable of tackling the underlying problems effectively? In this article it will be argued that addressing the existing imbalance calls for a broader approach, focusing on fostering investments in human capital, more flexibility in the traditional employment contract and successful transitions in the labour market.
