Labour flexibility is crucial for the Czech economy. The Czech labour market urgently needs to increase flexibility and mobility so that "human capital" can move to where it is needed and thus prevent, among other things, structural unemployment. The government is currently looking for ways and tools to revitalise the Czech economy overall. One of the proposals currently under consideration is to simplify the process of hiring and firing employees, drawing on the Danish experience with Flexicurity.

In the fight against discrimination, in helping to promote diversity and a fairer society, the Commission has taken a proactive approach and continues to work towards fulfilling its commitment. This award recognises the work that cities, municipalities or regions in Europe have done to promote diversity and inclusion.

On Tuesday, 26 September, a unique debate will take place at the headquarters of the European Commission Representation in the Czech Republic with four Scandinavian ambassadors to the Czech Republic, who will debate and discuss the current trends and priorities of the circular economy in the Scandinavian countries as well as the context of the "Green Deal for Europe". The European perspective will be added by a representative of the EC Representation in the Czech Republic.

Tomorrow, 19 September 2023, a unique event "Flexicurity - Innovative Model of The Labour Market - Danish Inspiration" will take place, organised by Business for Society in cooperation with the Embassy of the Kingdom of Denmark in the Czech Republic and the Member of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, Michaela Opltová.

Could the Danish flexible model work in Czech environment? Why is it worth being inspired by it? What would have to change in the Czech labour market? How can the government, businesses and labour unions work together effectively and sustainably?
