Abstract: The importance recently given to the idea of employability suggests that policymakers aim at developing the unemployed's initiatives in training and job seeking activities. However putting such an emphasis in a contex of long-lasting mass unemployment amounts to unduly place the main burden of labour market adjustment on individual responsibility. This paper starts from the labour law imputation of responsibilities of risk-taking on the labour market and in the employment relationship, and assesses its recent evolutions. Then it leads to a short presentation of "transitional labour markets" as a specific reform proposal for the labour market (I). In a second section, this approach is applied to the management and reform of unemployment insurance, paying a special attention to the balance of risk management in the labour market (II).
