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.

Individual Choices

This article aims at analysing the differences between European countries in the obstacles ex-offenders face due to having a criminal record. First, a comparative analytical framework is introduced that takes into account all the different elements that can lead to exclusion from the labour market by the dissemination of criminal record information. This model brings together social norms (macro level), social actors (meso level) and individual choices (micro level) in the same framework. Secondly, this model is used to compare the different impact of having a criminal record in Spain and the Netherlands. This comparison highlights three important findings: (1) the difference between norms of transparency/privacy and inclusive/exclusive ideals, (2) the significant role of social control agents, such as probation agencies and the ex-offenders’ social network, in shaping the opportunities that they have, and (3) self-exclusion seems to be a key mechanism for understanding unsuccessful re-entry into the labour market.

Similarities And Differences

The environmental labour market in the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Sweden and the Netherlands was evaluated by analysing up to 120 job advertisements in each country. The conditions and requirements were grouped into 11 categories showing clear similarities and differences between the five countries. Further evaluation of the data gives evidence that the private sector plays a significant role for technical environmental professionals in Europe. As a central task, conclusions regarding degree and knowledge requirements, respectively, and the importance of a variety of skills are drawn. Suggestions are made how the findings can be accounted for in environmental curricula. Furthermore the role of networks for the graduates' entry into the labour market is emphazised.

Structural Shifts

This paper attempts to extend the debate over labour market flexibility by incorporating some of the larger exogenous issues that are currently shaping New Zealand's future as a trading nation. It argues that structural shifts in the face of global price competition have important consequences for labour demand and in turn for both the institutional agencies of industial relations and for operational practices. The increasing importance of the formative role of mu;lti-national corporate practices are also discussed, particularly their tendency to treat labour supply requirements as a special case of factor markets in which the human factor is melded into an integrated socio-economic system. The paper concludes that current changes in labour law have still not addressed the question of the degree of flexibility that a deregulated labour market might require and that the potential for considerable conflict exists between employer and trade union perceptions as to the roles of current institutions.

Self Employment

In the following article we show the meaning of entrepreneurship and self employment for the German economy after the reunification. We flashlight the German founding boom since 2003, as new labour market policy instruments have been developed and financed. On the basis of three regional investigations we compared the new self‐employed according to: social and vocational‐biographical development, motivation and nature of business founded, founding qualifications and qualification strategies.
