Flexicurity – theory or practice?

The concept of flexicurity – a strategy to enhance flexibility and security in the labour market at the same time – gained new momentum with the advent of the economic crisis. Public and policy discussions are now dealing with the question of whether flexicurity also works during times of economic crisis, or indeed, if it even can be a way out of the recession.

This fact sheet forms part of the Eurofound resource pack on Flexicurity – It takes three to tango. The pack explores the issue of flexicurity, providing insights into developments and impacts for Member States, employers and workers.
