Working flexible during unfavorable economic conditions Working flexible during unfavorable economic conditions In the Netherlands, working in a flexible job implies higher risks of job loss and insecurity at work. As most flexible workers eventually switch to a permanent job, labour market flexibility does not really function as an individual 'trap'. However, most studies on the consequences of flexible labour were carried out during more favorable economic conditions. In this article we study flexible workers' labour market position in a period of declining economic growth and rising unemployment. Data from the Dutch Institute for Labour Studies (OSA), ranging from 1998 to 2004, are analyzed with respect to 'unemployment', 'job insecurity' and the 'transition rates' from flexible contracts. Our main finding is that flexible employees cannot be regarded as a segmented workforce.

Trends in the labour market position of lower educated people Trends in the labour market position of lower educated people When scholars study the labour market position of educational categories, one generally looks at the (relative) odds of unemployment versus employment. In the Netherlands there is no structural deterioration of the labour market position of the lower educated. This article builds on earlier research by, firstly, making a further subdivision in unemployment, disability, and working in one's household, and secondly, by looking at trends for males, females, age groups, and ethnic groups specifically. For some groups there seems to be a structural relative deterioration of the labour market position of lower educated individuals. For lower educated women of age 35 to 44, for instance, the odds of working in one's household declined less steeply than for higher educated women of age 35 to 44. In sum, general trends for the total group of lower educated people do not give rise to excessive concern, but further subdivisions do show some more specific changes in relative differences between the lower and the higher educated.

Drawing on nationally representative data for British employees, the article argues for a more comprehensive concept of job insecurity, including not only job tenure insecurity but also job status insecurity, relating to anxiety about changes to valued features of the job. It shows that job status insecurity is highly prevalent in the workforce and is associated with different individual, employment and labour market characteristics than those that affect insecurity about job loss. It is also related to different organizational contexts. However, the article also shows that the existence of effective mechanisms of employee participation can reduce both types of job insecurity.

Labour Market Flexibility

Conservative critics of European economic policies argue that high and persistent European unemployment is caused by institutional rigidities which are traced back to welfare states and union strength. By contrast, low US unemployment is attributed to high labour market flexibility. These claims are examined. The high social costs of US style flexibility in terms of income inequality and poverty suggest that the „cure“ for high unemployment should be sought elsewhere, namely by relying on policies - as in the Netherlands and Denmark - which combine high levels of social security with increased labour market flexibility.

The Relationship

Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) which provides a comprehensive picture of the economic conditions of a region is indicator for analyzing economic region development. Another indicator that is no less important is inflation as an indicator to see the level of changes in price increases due to an increase in the money supply that causes rising prices. The success of development must also look at the income inequality of its population which is illustrated by this ratio. One of the main regional development goals is to improve the welfare of its people, where to see the level of community welfare, among others, can be seen from the level of unemployment in an area. To that end, in order to get an overview of the effects of GRDP, inflation and the ratio of gini to unemployment in DKI Jakarta for the last ten years (2007-2016), an analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression methods. As a result, together the relationship between GRDP, inflation and the Gini ratio is categorized as "very strong" with a score of 0.936, and has a significant influence on unemployment. Partially, the GRDP gives a significant influence, but inflation and gini ratio do not have a significant influence. GDP, inflation and the Gini ratio together for the last ten years have contributed 81.4% to unemployment in DKI Jakarta, while the remaining 18.6% is influenced by other variables not included in this research model, so for reduce unemployment in DKI Jakarta, programs that are oriented to economic growth, suppressing inflation and decreasing this ratio need to be carried out simultaneously. Keywords: GRDP, inflation, unemployment, DKI Jakarta, GINI ratio
