Flexicurity in Times of Economic Crisis

The implementation of the strategy of flexicurity in the Member States of the European Union is the title of a conference on one of the priorities of the Czech Presidency in the area of employment which takes place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Prague on 25 and 26 March.

The concept of flexicurity implies a demand for greater flexibility on the labour market balanced by better social security. The conference will focus on the application of the general principle of flexicurity in relation to the current crisis.

Ms. Alena Zukersteinov, Cedefop's expert, gave a speech in the session on "Lifelong learning: matching skills and labour market needs on the path to recovery".
