FLEXICURITY IN THE LABOR MARKET REFORM 2012

Abstract

Flexicurity is a concept created around the turn of the century to describe a model of labor market with virtuous performance, in which the flexibility required by companies is not opposed to security aspired by workers. Following the discussion in the community level about this new model, the labor reform of 2012 joined this concept into the normative language. Even if «the goal is flexicurity», the reform of 2012 does not fit easily into the new paradigm. The adopted model leaves the objective in the hands of companies without, so far, the results achieved fit in it.
