Zastosowanie modelu flexicurity w polityce zatrudnienia Unii Europejskiej (ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Polski)

The Danish flexicurity model, which comprises: a flexible labour market, active labour market policy, and a generous welfare state, seems to be nowadays the pattern to follow for many European countries. Moreover, this model plays an important role in the creation of the European Employment Strategy. However, in order to achieve such success in the implementation of flexicurity policy as Denmark has, it is essential that all of its constituent elements are present, so as to ensure flexible forms of labour, on the one hand, and security for those who use flexible contracts, on the other hand. The purpose of this paper is to present the scope in which flexicurity policy is applied in the European Union countries, with special attention to Poland, and to diagnose the problems of its implementation.
