Abstract
The “Possibilities for labour market desegmentation” project addresses one of the most difficult developmental problems in Slovenia. Labour market segmentation is making the labour market highly rigid and also affecting the unequal status of the different social groups in it. The result is the more difficult adjustment of the economy to the changing market conditions, along with the uneven distribution of the burden of the crisis and of the unemployment among different categories of the active population exposed to both social exclusion and reduced social security. The project aims to examine the extent of labour market segmentation, the rigidity of the labour market, as well as the related social exclusion and social security. We will examine to what extent the current financial and economic crisis has contributed to this situation and to what extent employment, education, social and fiscal policies and appropriate institutional arrangements of these areas have contributed via their own measures to reducing or increasing labour market segmentation. Special attention will be paid to finding alternative solutions or actions that would reduce the labour market’s segmentation, increase its flexibility and at the same time contribute to increasing social inclusion and social security. The project will encompass a conceptual analysis, an analysis of relevant databases, a policy analysis, an analysis of evaluations and institutional documents, an analysis of the social partners’ and policy makers’ standpoints as well as a case study. It focuses on the period of the current crisis and the situation in Slovenia compared with selected EU countries.
