ILC coverage: Flexicurity and Danish Tripartism

The search for a better combination of flexibility and security regarding employment, income and social protection is a major challenge within the European Union. Denmark has been a pioneer in implementing a system of flexicurity in its labour market. A panel discussion at the 97th International Labour Conference addressed the issue of "Flexicurity for Decent Work: a labour market policy approach" with the participation of ILO experts and tripartite delegates from Denmark, including Claus Hjort Frederiksen, Danish Minister for Employment, Marie-Louise Knuppert of the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions, Jorn Neergaard Larsen of the Confederation of Danish Employers and José Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs, Executive Director, Employment Sector, ILO.
