Tackling Ethnic Minority Disadvantage: The Differential Impact of Short-term and Long-term-Oriented Strategies on Subsequent Job Matches and Sustainable Employment
In the Netherlands, the generic work-first support seems unable to mitigate the scarring effects of prior unemployment on ethnic minorities’ careers. This study compares the impact of vulnerable ethnic minorities participating in an alternative employer-based employment programme with a control group entitled to work-first support on employment up to ten years later. We look at how both labour market interventions with different time horizon stra…
Flexibility and security: National social models in transitional labour markets
Aggregate and individual data are used to test the association between employment performance and different ways of reconciling flexibility and security in European labour markets. Particular use is made of statistics on individuals’ labour market transitions as revealed by national labour force surveys. The article compares the performance of three basic forms of labour market institutions: the uncoordinated liberal, or neoliberal one; flexisecu…

Flexicurity: A New Paradigm for the Analysis of Labor Markets and Policies Challenging the Trade‐Off Between Flexibility and Security
The aim of the article is to discuss the concept of flexicurity presented as a new paradigm for analyzing modern labor markets (analytical perspective) and as a metaphor for policies striving for a better balance between flexibility and security (normative perspective). The purpose is to clarify these analytical and normative meanings of the flexicurity concept from a theoretical and empirical perspective. Flexicurity has been a policy strategy s…
Income Attainment among Victims of Violence: Results From a Preliminary Study
Violent victimisation may have many short-term psychological and physical outcomes. Occasionally, the negative aftermath of violence persists over time or induces other and more far-reaching consequences. Income attainment after victimisation is one of these outcomes. To date, previous studies have focussed on the income effects of violent victimisation during childhood and adolescence. Violence exposure during the early stages of the life course…
On the Road to Flexicurity: Dutch Proposals for a Pathway Towards Better Transition Security and Higher Labour Market Mobility
Flexicurity – a European Approach to Labour Market Policy
Although linguistically somewhat strange, “flexicurity”, the combination of labour market flexibility and security for employees, has become a much praised cornerstone of European labour market policies. Obviously, in an environment with rapid technical progress and frequently changing market conditions, employers need to manage their labour force flexibly. In order to achieve this flexibility without creating an unbearable situation for employee…
On the Road to Flexicurity: Dutch Proposals for a Pathway towards Better Transition Security and Higher Labour Market Mobility
As regards labour-market reform and employment policies, the European Union currently touts the concept of ‘flexicurity’, aiming at simultaneously enhancing both flexibility and security in the labour market in response to the globalisation of the economy and far-reaching demographic developments such as the ageing of the population. Each Member State is expected to map out its own distinct pathway towards more flexicurity and the European Commis…
Towards ‘Flexicurity’? Balancing Flexibility and Security in EU Member States
This paper focuses on the ‘flexibility-security nexus' in employment and the labour market in four EU-member states: Belgium, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. The starting point of the paper is the concept of ‘flexicurity’, viewed as a particular way of dealing with this nexus. The paper explores differences in the emphasis put on types and levels of flexibility and security, as well as the particular trade-offs between forms of flexibility …
The concept of 'flexicurity: A New Approach to Regulating Employment and Labour Markets
This article deals with the new policy concept of 'flexicurity' in view of the emerging flexibility-security nexus currently faced by the European Union, national governments, sectors of industry, individual companies and workers. On the one hand there is a strong demand to make labour markets, employment and work organisation more flexible. At same time, an equally strong demand exists for providing security to employees - especially vulnerable …
Towards 'Flexicurity'? Balancing Flexibility and Security in EU Member States
Moving Beyond Command‐and‐Control: Reflexivity in the Regulation of Occupational Safety and Health and the Environment
Direct or “command‐and‐control” regulation has had limited success in dealing with occupational health and safety and with environmental regulation. This lack of success has led policymakers to experiment with self‐regulation as an alternative means of achieving the goals of social regulation. The economic subsystem fails to acknowledge its social identity and, therefore, appears to be blind to its negative performance regarding the environment a…
