This book argues that it needs a revision: Although flexicurity is set out to change the way Europeans work and live, and even though it is being justified by workers' needs, flexicurity lacks of a clear and democratically justified vision of society. Flexicurity is confronted here with Amartya Sen's capability-approach, a paradigm of well-being evaluation. How is flexicurity related to a concept of employment as part of a way of life which people have reason to value? How capability-friendly are established flexicurity-indicators? It is thus shown how the capability-approach can be used in the field of labour-market and social policy.Labor policyEuropean Union countriesJob securityEuropean Union countriesLabor policyJob security331.094Lehwess-Litzmann René1981-1369239NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910725028403321Capability as a yardstick for flexicurity3395288UNINA
