The term flexicurity redefines the relationship between employers and employees in the labour market. Flexicurity attempts to strike a balance between the flexibility of employment and the competitiveness of en¬trepreneurs. Denmark and the Netherlands, which have successfully applied flexicurity solutions, are looked up to when it comes to the implementation of these solutions. Long before the economic crisis and down¬turn, flexicurity solutions had proven to be an effective tool to maintain the lowest levels of unemployment among the EU countries. The article presents the results of research on the relationships between the unemployment rate and the flexibility of labour market during the period of the economic crisis and downturn after 2007.

Experience of most OECD countries reflect that conflict between social solidarity and economy efficiency has been reduced to they should be compatible nay complementary. The social expenditures can at the same time to reduce poverty and prefer labour productivity and the technical-technologic changes. The Slovak system of social protection will be vigorous when two conditions are achieved: first condition gives volatility against stability of rules, which refer redistribution. Compatibility of system of social protection with existence regulation and regime of economic growth is the second condition.

This article aims at presenting flexicurity as an approach to regulating social and employment policies. A brief introduction of flexicurity principles is followed by a presentation of the three main definitions of the concept: flexicurity as a strategy, a state of the labour market and an analytical tool. Then, the Danish and the Dutch models are analysed as important examples of application of flexicurity policy in practice. Finally, an integrated flexicurity approach at the EU level is described.

During the last years, there has been a growing interest all over Europe for the Danish 'model' of flexicurity. The Danish combination of flexibility for the employers and security for the employees and the populations would be an example to follow, mainly because of the successes met in the fight against unemployment during the 1990's. This paper takes a close look at the core elements of the Danish case to determine whether these views are relevant. The three elements of the Danish 'golden triangle' are flexible labour market, a generous welfare system, and an active labour marker policy. These elements are analysed, as well as the 1993 labour market reform, which is supposed to have triggered the remarkable decrease of unemployment that took place in Denmark since 1997. The core features of the Danish case are examined to determine whether the Danish model could be exported, in particular in Poland, where mass unemployment is an issue.

The Swedish model's high level of consistence that links normative assumptions and institutional practices into an integrated whole, as well as its high aspiration level are probably unique. The article reviews the normative assumptions, and institutional features of the model with a particular focus on the role played by the goal of full employment, and the instruments of Active Labour Market Policy developed in order to achieve it. It is argued that the emphasis originally placed by the model's architects on individual employability and labour mobility, though pivotal for its initial success did, inadvertently contribute to the gradual growth in the ranks of the permanently unemployable in the later decades. Previously, the low degree of coordination between the public actors within the system, and the cleavage between the fields of labour market and welfare largely hindered the emergence of new public solutions, while social economy actors were kept at bay. The ongoing realignment of local government- and public sector institutions and tasks opens new scenarios, in which the diversity and high level of autonomy of public actors may provide the base for the emergence of new partnerships and initiatives in the field.

The paper presents labour market developments and labour market reforms in Slovenia in 1996 - 2006. Slovenia recorded rather favourable labour market developments. However, some problems still persist. The adopted labour market reforms were not radical and some of them were adopted rather late. Several indicators of labour market flexibility show rather rigid labour market. Due to high employment protection the share of temporary employment in total employment is big. The weak response of employment and wages to stronger economic activity indicates the rigidity of labour market. Therefore, the search for flexicurity model is a challenge for Slovenia. The authoresses stress several obstacles for adoption of Danish flexicurity model in Slovenia and estimate the Slovenian approach towards flexicurity.

In the first part of the article the author points out the outstanding performance of the Nordic countries in comparison to other countries (not only the EU member states) on a very wide range of economic and social indicators: growth, labour productivity, research and development investment, liberalised product and service markets, rates of employment, welfare benefits, physical and social infrastructure. The development of the Nordic states since at least mid-1990s has shown that they have managed to create socially generous and even societies as well as highly competitive, flexible and efficient ones. Therefore, the latest Scandinavian experiences appear to have gone beyond the simplistic debate over liberalisation versus protectionism, or free market capitalism versus the welfare state, which is so prevalent in Europe today. The article argues that the Nordic social model could become an important source of inspiration for other countries in Europe, including Poland, despite its specifity based on a number of cultural, historical and regional factors connected with Scandinavia. Among the major lessons which can be learned about the Nordic model are the following observations. It is not the size of the state which matters, but its quality. The public sector and institutionalized social dialogue can be very effective instruments for economic and social reform. One of the distinctive features of the Nordic countries is the strategy of 'flexicurity' - combination of flexible regulation, strongly developed systems of social security for the unemployed and an active labour market policy. A further reason for the success is a high level of investment in education and research. Last but not least, Nordic governments are leading the way in establishing a high degree of coherence between economic, social and ecological policies.

The paper contains characteristics of the flexicurity-based approach in the employment and labour market policy. The fields of flexibility and security, that can co-exist within it, are defined. The set of 'Modern labour market acts' (called 'Hartz's reform'), introduced in Germany since 2003 to 2005, is analyzed, regarding its convergence with the flexicurity concept. Results of changes in functioning of the public employment services in Federal Republic of Germany, as well as the consequences of modification of the active and passive labour market measures for the security and flexibility level, are pointed out.

Among the results of the crisis which took place in Denmark in the early 1990s were a huge excess of labour sup¬ply and increased expenditure on counteracting the effects of rising unemployment. In the face of growing economic problems, the Danish government decided to implement a flexicurity policy. The main elements of the policy included: (1) flexible rules for hiring and dismissing employees, (2) a system of social security in the event of loss of employment, and (3) active labour market policies. The Danish policy of activation of the unemployed is characterised by an individualised approach to job seekers, and the assumption that they have the right and obligation to participate in activation programmes. All persons without a job are eligible for receiving aid under employment stimulation schemes, re¬gardless of whether they are entitled to unemployment benefits. Denmark is the European leader in terms of the share of GDP devoted to labour market programmes. In the years 2002-2011, an average of EUR 7,685.48 million, (3.28% of the country’s GDP) was spent on the implementa¬tion of labour market programmes in Denmark. Greater flexibility in establishing and resolving employment relationships increases the risk of loss of employment, but also allows one to quickly re-enter the labour market. As a result, the labour market policy applied by Denmark has signifi¬cantly reduced the unemployment rate: from 7% in 1995 to 3.4% in 2008. Denmark is among the countries with the lowest rate of long-term unemployment, which in the years 1995-2012 averaged 1.1%. It is also a country with one of the highest employ¬ment rates in Europe for people aged 20-64. In the years 2000-2011, it amounted to an average of 77.8%, which was well above the average employment rate calculated for the EU-27 (68.17%).

The paper aims to design a general assessment framework of working conditions in Europe and associated flexicurity measures, as main drivers of economic growth. We focused on a panel of EU-28 MS and on a sub-panel of 10 CEE countries. First, we conducted a complex cluster analysis based on the Ward method and Euclidian distance that allowed for a proper grouping of EU-28 MS according to the three job quality indices. Second, we configured two SEM models that capture the impact of working conditions and flexicurity measures on labour productivity and economic output. The results highlight that CEE countries have a less flexible working program compared to the other MS. The estimations for flexicurity and job quality interdependencies reveal important positive contributions of the working dimensions and external numerical flexibility credentials to labour productivity, GDP per capita, and a reduction of the poverty risk.
