Main reference source: Flexicurity and Political Philosophy
The project consists of ten empirical models of flexicurity — the European policy intended to compensate the flexibilization of employment (relaxing the employment protection to simplify firing and allow more temporary jobs) by social security measures. It is shown that flexicurity fails to meet expectations. Alternatively, the job quality indicators developed within this research are proposed for the flexinsurance (unemployment insurance that charges employers depending on the flexibility of the employment contract) and workplace tax (that, by analogy with the green tax, should charge employers for bad working conditions considered “social pollution”).
