Do Flexicurity Policies Affect Labour Market Outcomes? An Analysis of EU Countries

“…Also, policymakers have neglected the fact that economic theory at the time emphasized, referring to the important interaction between the system of generous unemployment insurance, the size and the mix of active labor market policies, and the degree to which benefits for unemployed affect job search (Martin 2014). Laporšek and Dolenc (2012) point out that the generous measures of the passive labor market policy are in a negative correlation with the transition from unemployment to employment. Research that has been conducted by Guzmán (2014) shows obvious evidence that passive labor market policies in the form of unemployment insurance have a significant impact on increasing the number of unemployed persons.…”

The academics consider that due to the process of digitalization, the data collected by recording the digital traces became a valuable source to analyse various aspects of customer behaviours. In that context, the mobile traffic data exploration provides new insights in tourism market dynamics. Over time, it becomes crucial to approach both new frameworks and real-time monitoring systems to understand how the customer dynamics perceived over mobile traffic, shape the structure of tourism sector in order to make better planning decisions and improve management. Following the stated, the intention of this study is few, namely: (i) to highlight significant figures referring eu-28 digital environment, (ii) to present and elaborate Internet mobile trends, generally and referring hotel and travel agency area, and (iii) to strengthen the tourism managers' level of awareness regarding the role of mobile internet for business benefits.

“…Employment legislation is at most fl exible in the Anglo-Saxon countries, followed by Nordic countries, and becomes more rigid when moving to the Southern EU Member States (see Laporšek and Dolenc, 2012). Similarly, countries differ in the level of LP per hour worked, being especially low among the NMS.…”

Abstract:The paper examines the issue of fl exicurity in the EU Member States and studies the association between fl exicurity policy components (i.e. employment protection legislation, lifelong learning programs, active and passive labour market policies) and labour and total factor productivity growth in 20 EU Member States over the 1991-2008 period. The empirical analysis pointed on the existence of large differences in the level of implementation of fl exicurity policies across EU Member States, by which the least successful are NMS, especially with regard to active labour market and lifelong learning programs. As regards the relation between fl exicurity variables and productivity growth, panel regression estimates showed that active labour market policies and participation in lifelong learning programs have a statistically signifi cant positive association with labour and total factor productivity growth. On the other hand, rigid employment protection and high expenditures for passive labour market policies negatively relate to productivity growth.
