Flexicurity. A relevant approach in Central and Eastern Europe
by Sandrine Cazes and Alena Nesporova,
Geneva, ILO, 2007
The new ILO study says that economic growth has accelerated in Central and South Eastern Europe after 2000, but it has not adequately translated into employment creation. The positive economic trend also coincided with a relative worsening of youth unemployment and decreasing protection at the workplace. The study argues that an approach combining flexibility and security is the most relevant for the region and suggests appropriate reforms of economic, labour market and social policies. ILO Online spoke with the co-authors and editors of the book, Sandrine Cazes and Alena Nesporova. Interview with the authors |
