This volume assesses the complex relationship between the economic and non-economic aspects of labour institutions at various levels. Firstly, the book explores the dilemma which calls for increased flexibility in contractual relationships whilst maintaining the present levels of social protection and job security. The discussion goes on to address the criteria that may provide guidelines for evaluating labour market and social protection system reform policies, and finally, the utility criteria usually used in economic analysis is questioned.

Industry Reviews

'The merit of the book is that in just 150 pages it takes up the fundamental debate on the continued tension between the economic and the social dimension of employment. . . the volume is to be applauded for its achievement in posing the right questions necessary to discuss the social dimension of employment. Rather than providing definite and simplistic answers it guides the reader through the "state-of-the-art" and the relevant academic debates within labour and welfare economics and institutional economics.' -- Klaus Schomann, Transfer
