The Pubic Employment Policies

The public employment policies

The idea of flex-security contains two aspects. On the one hand, seeks to regulate the labour market in order to make it more ductile, which, in principle, it seems that he is achieved through the regulation of variable remuneration and simpler contracts. On the other, these measures must be accompanied by effective policies of employment and protection of theunemployed in order to protect the worker.
Taking these guidelines into account, I come to the examination of key employment policies applicable at present.I will establish the fundamental lines of action in this area, and point out some of the actions undertaken in the context of the economic and labour crisis. I mention in particular, certain measures, which are understood interest, collectedby Decree - Law 2/2009 of 6 March, urgent measures for the maintenance and the promotion of employment and the protection of unemployed persons and other previous rules with the same vocation.
To determine its context, must be based on the concept established in article 1 of law 56/2003, 16 December on employment: is meant by public policies of employment all decisions taken by the State andthe autonomous communities, established in accordance with European guidelines, whose main purpose is the development of measures aimed at achieving full employment, the promotion of its quality, the reduction of unemployment situations and, where appropriate, the protection of the latter. Therefore, as you can see, there are two types of actions; some who seek the promotion of employment (active)and others, when they fail the first pursuing the protection of the unemployed (the passive). And from this Division, is to analyse the measures which are understood to be the biggest.

Within themcan be divided into policies of information and orientation towards the active search for employment; promotion policies (promotion of stable employment and quality, support for self-employment, social economy and the development of SMEs; promotion of geographical mobility, the impetus to generating employment; and activities promoting the employability of collectives in situation or risk ofsocial exclusion); and, lastly, there are vocational training policies. Currently it has tried to promote, as he is well known, some of these objectives through the Spanish Plan for stimulation of the economy and employment, known as "Plan E", which seeks to introduce direct measures of momentum to the creation of employment.

It must not lose sight of the view that, as already noted, here only are collected which are understood as more important (training actions) or the newest.
