Abstract: "In many EU countries labour market policy moved in the 1990s towards a stronger employment orientation. We address the question of whether European labour markets have become more inclusive after a period of intense labour market reforms and just before the adverse effects of the economic crisis took effect. We do this for the following countries: Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Poland and Spain. Based on ELFS data we estimate the probability of someone who was either unemployed or inactive, making the transition a) to any form of employment and b) that the transition has been made to permanent compared to a temporary or marginal part-time contract. Our results show that the chances to make a transition into employment have increased on average across all countries although there are considerable country variations. In most - but not all - countries, however, increasingly inclusive labour markets are associated with a reduction in job quality, as measured by contract type." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
