Opis

This volume assesses the complex relationship between the economic and non-economic aspects of labour institutions at various levels. Firstly, the book explores the dilemma which calls for increased flexibility in contractual relationships whilst maintaining the present levels of social protection and job security. The discussion goes on to address the criteria that may provide guidelines for evaluating labour market and social protection system reform policies, and finally, the utility criteria usually used in economic analysis is questioned.
