| Résumé : | The popularity of the term “flexibility” has fluctuated enormously over the last two decades. It was on everyone’s lips during the first half of the 1980s, then relegated to the background when the economy recovered during the latter half of that decade, making a strong comeback starting in 1991 as unemployment rose. Flexibility, it is claimed, is the cure-all when labour market conditions deteriorate. It combats rigidities, being synonymous with adaptability, pliability and being up-to-date. Its inspiration is the dynamism of the North American model that challenges the European countries’ supposedly cumbersome labour laws and social protection systems. |
