GENERAL NOTIONS CONCERNING FLEXICURITY

Summary/Abstract: The term „flexecuritate” or „flexisecuritate”, or „flexicurity”, devoted to the international form of the term „flexicurity”, adopted from the English language, was created by the joining of the two terms „flexibility” and „security”, in order to define a new concept concerning the evolution of the labour market in Europe, reflecting the concerns for adaptation of workers to secure labor market, in parallel to maintain and improve the competitiveness of enterprises, as well as preserving the European social model.Therefore, flexicurity can be defined, most simply, as a compromise between flexibility and security in employment relationships, and represents a solution to the European dilemma concerning the way to be taken in order to maintain and improve the competitiveness of European enterprises in the global competition, but without sacrificing the European social model.
