  1. Reconciling flexibility and security: the role of organized industrial relations

  2. ‘Flexicurity’ is a policy for trying to maximize employment by combining low levels of legal job protection with strong support for the unemployed and strong active labour market policies. First, is there a negative relationship between the strength of employment protection laws and the level of employment?

  5. This model faces three threats: • - Declining tolerance of it by the neoliberal consensus in the European Union • - Declining trade unions • - Growth of divisions between permanent and temporary workforces

  6. Union density, 1990, 2000, 2010

  7. Change in size of temporary workforce, 2000-2010

  8. Is there a trade-off between a temporary workforce and equality?
