Special issue: Potentials for increasing flexibility in heterogeneous labour markets

Abstract

"Flexibility and heterogeneity are important topics in labour market research. Since 2004 the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) has funded a research network addressing the issue of 'Flexibility in Heterogeneous Labour Markets', which intends to uncover possibilities for fostering flexibility. Furthermore, the research network aims to identify the relationship between separate heterogeneous labour markets and flexibility. The network has the general goal to reduce the gap between labour market research in Germany on these topics and the level of the international literature. This special issue of the Journal for Labour Market Research provides access to original research contributions from the research network for a broader readership."
