Flexibility and market mobility is still a distant goal in the Czech Republic
The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has introduced another amendment to the Labour Code, the so-called "flexinovela". Its aim is to increase the flexibility of labour relations and respond to the current needs of the modern labour market.
Flexicurity for the Czech Republic - just one part is not enough!
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.
Worried about high unemployment? Introduce flexicurity, the Danes advise the Czech Republic
"The Danes have the lowest long-term unemployment rate of all EU countries. "The flexicurity model - a system based on a balance between a flexible labour market and social security - has helped significantly," said Søren Kelstrup, Denmark's ambassador to the Czech Republic, at Tuesday's debate in the Chamber of Deputies. In the second part of the debate, representatives of Scandinavian responsible companies also spoke and the voice of Czech trade unions was also heard.
