Abstract: Abstract For some time now Europe or, more precisely, the European Union has been heatedly discussing the reasons for its loss of competitiveness on the world economic scene. Many diagnosticians agree that the lack of labour flexibility is one of the basic causes. But despite numerous studies on the subject, one continues to wonder whether ‘labour flexibility’ means the same thing to everyone and what is the true purpose of all this discussion.
