Why Deregulate Labour Markets

Gøsta Esping-Andersen and Marino Regini

Abstract

This book explores the deregulation of labour markets in Europe. It reviews the different national approaches to flexibility and deregulation, and examines their impact on unemployment structure and trends. The book is divided into two parts. Part I focuses on current labour policies and the different approaches to flexibilisation. Part II presents detailed studies on eight European countries. Each represents distinct regulatory patterns and different types of performance.

Keywords: Europe, labour market regulation, labour policy
