Flexicurity papers 2004/3
by Iskra Beleva, Vasil Tzanov and Genoveva Tisheva, ILO, Budapest, 2005
Available in English in paper and in Bulgarian in pdf file
This study provides a number of conclusions concerning the existing balance between labour market flexibility and employment security in Bulgaria and recommendations for improving such balance.
It first analyses the general demographic and economic development as an environment for employment growth; the existing labour market policies; the legal framework of the employment relationships; and, the links between legislation, labour market policies and social policy.
Secondly, it offers several recommendations for achieving better results such as: labour market flexibility and security of employment and income; the role of workers' and employers' labour market institutions; and the recommended type of labour market regulation. |

Flexibility and Security in the Labour Market. Poland's Experience
Flexicurity papers 2004/4
by Gabriela Grotkowska, Mieczyslaw W. Socha and Urszula Sztanderska, ILO, Budapest, 2005
Available in English in paper and in Polish in pdf file
By its accession to the European Union, Poland has joined the group of the countries with poor employmentof labour resources. Its indicators of unemployment and non-employment rates are among the highest of OECD countries. Since 1998, the Polish economy has suffered a net loss of jobs while the unemployment rate has doubled. Such a dramatic aggravation of the labour market raises questions: To what extent can the fall in employment and the rise in unemployment be related to a deterioration of the economy and to what extent should it be linked to restructuring and adaptation to EU standards? Does the Polish economy suffer more than other countries from institutional barriers that hinder the creation of new jobs and reallocation of workers? What role has social policy played in the process of stimulation of economic activity and labour force mobility? To what extent has social policy favoured social security and counteracted the growth of the army of people loosely associated with employment and t he labour market?
These are some of the questions the authors answer in this report. |
