About article:
The paper presents labour market developments and labour market reforms in Slovenia in 1996 – 2006. Slovenia recorded rather favourable labour market developments. However, some problems still persist. Adopted labour market reforms were not radical and some of them were adopted rather late. Several indicators of labour market flexibility show rather rigid labour market. Due to high employment protection the share of temporary employment in total employment is big. The weak response of employment and wages to stronger economic activity indicates the rigidity of labour market. Therefore, the search for flexicurity model is a challenge for Slovenia. We stress several obstacles for adoption of Danish flexicurity model in Slovenia and estimate the Slovenian approach towards flexicurity.
