Ba. whereas European social partners in joint conclusions recognise that in today’s labour market it is necessary to improve policy measures which address both the flexibility and security dimensions for workers and employers alike. Applied in the right way, the flexicurity approach can create a win-win situation and be equally beneficial for employers and employees.

This notably includes ensuring healthy and safe working conditions over the working life, updating competences over the life course through regular and lifelong learning as well as implementing flexible working practices that benefit workers and employers, ensuring possibilities for a second career for those who need this;
