1 The Danish flexicurity model and the crisis Torben M. Andersen University of Aarhus CEPR, CESifo and IZA
2 The Danish Flexicurity Model Particular triple: Lax EPL Flexible hiring/firing rules Generous UIB Strong focus on ALMP Unemployment Insurance Active labour market policy
3 Flexicurity and the Great Recession More exposed to shocks Large employment response to be expected Higher risk of persistence higher unemployment response and generous unemployment insurance Can the active labour market policy cope with an increase in unemployment? Eroding financial balance of the model
4 The Great Recession and the role of institutions/policies Notion of flexibility: EPL UIB ALMP Adaptation of labour input to output - +? Speed of adjustment (actual unemployment Avoiding path dependence (change in structural unemployment) Aggregate structural unemployment) Disaggregate (groups/types of labour) -? - +/? - - -/?

25 Conclusion Large change in (un)employment but not relative to output change High gross flows remain despite crisis Most unemployment spells are short Low risk of long-term unemployment Relatively easy entry for youth So far: weak signs of marginalization and increase in long-term unemployment compared to other countries Active labour market policy can it also work in a deep recession? Financial viability of the model crucial to maintain a high employment level!
