“If you have good competition policy, education and flexicurity – then you can make the best use of AI.” AI has enormous growth and employment creation potential, says economic sciences laureate Philippe Aghion. But in order to harness the full potential of AI, certain

✅ Flexicurity. Odolná společnost, spokojenost a víc peněz. 👀 Slovo “flexicurity” budeme všichni slýchat častěji, znamená snahu skloubit potřeby zaměstnavatelů i zaměstnanců na současném trhu práce. ✔️ Proč je to win-win řešení? ✔️ A proč i cesta k vyšším mzdám? V novém osobním

Moving from existing labour market regulation to something akin to Danish “flexicurity” seems like the five trillion-dollar question for Europe. Has anyone seen a good example of a country doing it under similar political constraints to the ones that European states face now?

Máme radost podruhé. Prezident Pavel dnes podepsal tolik potřebnou novelu zákoníku práce. Prvky flexicurity, které zavádí, jsou dalším impulsem pro rozhýbání našeho zkostnatělého trhu práce. #RepublikavPohybu

Was die Dänen 🇩🇰 besser machen? Dänemark zeigt, wie man Fördern und Fordern tatsächlich lebt: Im dänischen Flexicurity-Modell kombiniert der Staat ein relativ gutes Sicherheitsnetz mit klaren Erwartungen an Arbeitssuchende. Arbeitslose erhalten zu Beginn 90% ihres letzten

✍🏻 «Denmark, with flexible rules about hiring and firing, a model known as #flexicurity, is one of the few European nations that approaches America's GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power, and it has one of the highest levels of employment» @s8mb https://t.co/lZFYD0hsVF

On se demande souvent pourquoi l'Europe, malgré son génie industriel, n'a pas vu naître de Google, de Meta ou de Tesla. La réponse courte ? Notre code du travail transforme les salariés en actifs immobiliers. Aux USA licencier coûte en moyenne 7 mois de salaire. En Allemagne ou

@MarkP21 @Destiny_Chiild This is just one example, of course. American socialists would react with shock and horror to the Danish flexicurity system. And Denmark's light-touch regulation of business is exactly the opposite of what American socialists want to do.

8/9 There are some possible solutions 1) Reduce costs for high earning employees 2) Danish flexicurity.

Curious article. I thought flexicurity referred to security and flexibility, and typically used to talk about the approach in Denmark (lots of income protection but a dynamic labour market). But UK workers don't get the security.

that said, unions need reform. It isn't the 1950s anymore the best models blend worker protections w flexibility: joint training programs, involvement in tech adoption, perf incentives alongside job security Germany's co-determination and Nordic "flexicurity" show it's possible

Probleem hier is dat de vakbonden en de linkse partijen (bij ons @vooruit_nu in de volgende regering) er àlles, maar dan ook àlles aan zullen doen om ons in de malaise te houden. Terwijl ze al zouden keen gaan voor #flexicurity . https://t.co/NJBph1qCkJ

Spot on about things Britain could learn from Denmark but flexicurity succeeds in part, I understand, due to v strong culture of collective bargaining and trust between unions and employers in negotiating terms.

Samaan aikaan kun Somessa Viinanen keksi juustohöylän, niin Tanskassa otettiin käyttöön Flexicurity-malli. Juustohöylä on pitänyt Suomen talouden kasvun kurissa pari viime vuosikymmentä. Flexicurity-malli on osoittautunut "Sammoksi" jonka Väinämöinen hukkasi.

Interesting. Essentially moving to a kind of Nordic system. Much more liberal labour markets but greater contributory welfare. Something like flexicurity.

This selective picture of Danish “flexicurity” paints Scandi social democracy as a market-liberal free-for-all. In fact, while hire & fire is relatively cheap/simple — in comparison with, say, much of S. Europe — Danish labour relations are underpinned by nationwide sectoral

Great piece that reckons with the utter failure in the US to assist dislocated workers. This isn't intractable. Models like flexicurity in Denmark do an excellent job of maintaining a dynamic economy with robust support for workers. AI, trade, climate--we need to do better.

Agenda 2010 in Germany by Schröder was the last attempt of the german center-left to move to a more flexible Danish style welfare state, more flexicurity, pension system with capitalization. but the pension reforms were half done and the labor market reforms got undone over time

Worthwhile reading! I wrote my high-school on labor market institutions (an analysis of Macron's labor market reforms, with a comparison to Danish Flexicurity reforms and German Hartz reforms) - a topic where much is still to be learned.
