Welfare reform, precarity and the re-commodification of labour (2016, background): “There were areas of convergence, such as the extension of job-search requirements to inactive groups (Eichhorst and Konle-Seidl 2008), but not in terms of increasing security through increased spending on vocational training or welfare benefits (Heyes 2011; Clasen and Clegg 2013).”
Flexicurity in crisis: European labour market policies in a time of austerity (2013, background): “Expenditure on ALMPs – including measures to support lifelong learning – has remained low when compared to most other EU member states, as has the duration and level of unemployment benefit.”
Institutions and the prevalence of nonstandard employment (2015, background): “They have deregulated labor laws, reduced unemployment benefits and increased government spending on childcare and the activation of the unemployed (see, e.g. Viebrock and Clasen, 2009; Heyes, 2011; Rubery, 2011 for an overview).”
The crisis and regional employment in Europe: what role for sheltered economies? (2016, background): “Dual labour market systems and cultures contributed to the very rapid rise of unemployment in Spain in the early phases of the crisis, while flexicurity systems and collective bargaining processes assisted in softening the impact of the crisis on employment in the Nordic countries (Heyes, 2011).”
Financialization and the workplace: extending and applying the disconnected capitalism thesis (2013, background): “Heyes (2011) notes that within the EU, measures operating under the banner of flexicurity have tended to be geared towards eroding employment protection, resulting in the dominance of flexibility over security.”
Five Characteristics of Youth Unemployment in Europe (2015, background): “However, critical evaluations of the effectiveness of these initiatives point to the fact that there is no universally agreedupon definition of what these mean in different institutional contexts (Heyes, 2011; Jorgensen & Madsen, 2007; Tangian, 2011; Viebrock & Clasen, 2009).”
