Abstract
IN THE CONTEXT OF THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS, CREATING NEW JOBS BECOMES EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR EVERY COUNTRY. IN THE MEMBER STATES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION THE PROBLEM OF EMPLOYMENT IS MORE AND MORE SIGNIFICANT, AS WE FACE CONSIDERABLE CHALLENGES REGARDING THE AGING POPULATION, THE CONTINUOUS MIGRATION OF LABOR FORCE, THE DECLINE IN HOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTION AND THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS. THE EXISTING POLICIES IN THE AREA OF EMPLOYMENT ARE DESIGNED TO COUNTERACT THE UNDESIRED EFFECTS OF THE ACTUAL EVENTS AND FOCUS MAINLY ON THE CURRENT SITUATION WITHOUT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE POSSIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A LONG -TERM STRATEGY. INSPIRED BY THE EXPERIENCE OF THE NORDIC COUNTRIES (NETHERLANDS AND DENMARK), THE EUROPEAN UNION INSISTENTLY SUGGESTED THE CONCEPT OF FLEXICURITY AS A VIABLE SOLUTION FOR SOLVING THE ISSUES CREATED BY GLOBALIZATION, AND ALSO AS A RECOVERY MEASURE OF THE EFFECTS ISSUED BY THE FINANCIAL CRISIS.
