Flexicurity in a life-course perspective

Abstract: This article extends the analysis of flexicurity to take account of the life-course perspective; in the international flexicurity debate such an approach has so far not been systematically taken. The article focuses on the question of what options will be needed for time allocation in different phases of life and over the whole life of an individual, and what financial resources could be combined to finance those phases. The first section discusses methodological and conceptual issues related to flexicurity an… Show more

“…Crompton (2002) points out that tensions between employment and family life arise to the extent that the intensification of economic development is allowed to go unchecked, while Evandrou and Glaser (2004) show that multiple role occupancy is on the rise across British cohorts, with such consequences as poorer health and, where there are career interruptions, lower pension entitlements. Klammer (2004) examines all that is already being done by, and all that would be needed from, governments and enterprises to provide flexibility as well as security in the various phases where career and caring requirements clash.…”

“…Individuals who invest in other people also invest in themselves because they distribute resources at different points in time over the life course (Kvist, 2014). Moreover, educational attainment is a cumulative process of skill formation that unfolds over the life course (Di Stasio and Solga, 2017), and social policy has to respond to the different needs and circumstances of different age groups, primarily of children and older people (Alcock, 2016;Klammer, 2004). Fitzpatrick (2004) stresses the importance of life course policies which reduce poverty strategically by constructing institutional support that helps bridge sensitive periods.…”

“…Entre ellas, destacamos la que interpreta la flexiguridad como un nuevo pacto entre capital y trabajo (Wilthagen y Tros, 2004), la que incorpora la perspectiva del ciclo de vida (Klammer, 2004) y la que vincula la puesta en marcha de pactos de flexiguridad con la creación de mercados de trabajo transicionales. Nos parece que contienen elementos relevantes para ser tenidos en cuenta en una propuesta de flexiguridad que favorezca la competitividad, la creación de empleo y la inclusión social, bajo el respeto de los derechos sociales.…”
