AB'nde Güvenceli Esneklik ve Türkiye'deki Yasal Düzenlemeler.

The concept of flexicurity found its way into labour law in the 1990s as consequence of globalization. The concept could be defined as a strategy that aims at eliminating rigid rules from working life and forming a flexible structure while at the same time ensuring an adequate protection for workers. Flexicurity today has become a cornerstone of EU employment policy. European Commission's Green Paper published in 2006 clearly emphasizes the need for flexicurity and in a way, determines the direction of EU employment strategy. Flexicurity has been reflected onto member state legislative arrangements as well. Within this context, there have been remarkable efforts for softening the job protection legislation. Additionally, atypical forms of employment including fixed term contracts, temporary employment relationship, part time work and on call work have been handled in a flexicurity dimension. Flexibility in working time has also constituted another dimension of flexicurity. When looked at the Turkish Labour Law, it is possible to suggest the existence of a divided structure. On one hand there is unregistered work dominated by lack of rules, and on the other, a legal structure lacking necessary level of flexibility in especially certain areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
