One of the very most urgent issues confronting European governments now is high joblessness. At the same time, international firms are finding it harder to find experienced and qualified professionals who will really help them compete in an international business environment. The creative and collaborative method of employment known as "flexicurity" apparently offers an alternative to both these problems by emphasizing flexible work arrangements and all-inclusive lifelong learning schemes, thus helping firms and employees to thrive in explosive business contexts.
In this article, the writer emphasizes two regions of flexicurity that stand out for reaping immediate advantages and unleashing strong social effects: more varied contractual arrangements, and lifelong learning for all classes of workers. But includes more than inventing policies; it's an entirely new conception of work. It must be understood as a dynamic happening and tracked through a careful examination of the different conditions of each exceptional labor market and culture.
