Transitional Labour Markets: Experiences from Europe and Germany (1)‪.‬

Abstract Currently, women and men faced with increasingly work-related critical events are experiencing risks that are not fully covered by unemployment insurance. Transitional labour markets (TLMs) aim to navigate risky transitions between various employment relationships or between 'inactivity' and employment over the life course through various forms of income insurance, training and employment support. This paper outlines the concept of TLM and provides examples from Europe, especially from Germany, by discussing the conditions for 'good practice' performance.
