Abstract: After a study of the macro-economic framework of 4 countries, Germany, Spain, Italy and France, we propose to focus on the increase of job insecurity. A new social situation, mainly linked to the development of labor market flexibility, has arisen in those countries and in most of the European countries, that of the poor worker receiving benefit. We present the flexibility mechanisms of the labor markets in place since the 80s, and sometimes even deregulation mechanisms in certain countries. In general, flexibility is introduced through legislation, securing elements though negotiation. We then emphasize the differences in the impact of the crisis on employment in the 4 countries, and on the legislation implemented.
