Ideas for a New Deal for Labour in Belgium Where is our labour market going in the 21st century? How do we handle ageing and globalisation successfully? Can we finally push back mass unemployment? Can we combine more flexibility with more security? Can we make older people work more? Can we finally include foreigners in the labour force? This book provides new ideas to adjust the organisation of the Belgian labour market to a new era. It calls for broad and deep reforms for the long term, beyond the convulsive short-term reflex of acquired rights.

Low employment and high unemployment result from labour market institutions that inhibit labour market adaptability. This paper highlights recent labour market reforms in core areas such as active and passive labour market policies, employment protection and the funding of social policies through taxes and social contributions. To what extent can more favourable conditions for employment growth be created? The authors identify the limits of partial reforms as to the creation of more efficient labour market institutions although such reforms are highly plausible in politico-economic terms. The cumulative effect of marginal changes however leads to a gradual medium-term transformation of continental European labour markets.

However, the unemployment rate in Western Europe often remains unacceptably high, notwithstanding initial labour market reforms. Johan Albrecht analyses why selective labour market reform does not yield the desired outcome.
