Flexicurity : perspectives and practice / European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions

The concept of flexicurity has been based on a notion that robust active labour market policies, lifelong learning investment and modern social security systems xan ensure security of employment and income, even if contractual arrangements become more flexible and job transitions more frequent, as required by the rapidly evolving economic context. Discussing labour market reforms and the validity of flexicurity is therefor highly topical. In a period as transformative as this one, it is more than necessary to think how employment policy can help Europe emerge from the crisis with a stronger labour market.
