  2. OBJECTIVES AND MOTIVATIONS • The course aims to examine the needs current European labour markets are facing. As technological developments are becoming more rapid, also jobs change more quickly than before.

Non competitive labor markets: some case studies. • The current debate on the EU labor market: the role of institutions and employment protection legislations. • Flexicurity: some drawing lessons from the Danish model. • Labour market policies in the EU • The wage gap among workers that differ in their education. The rate of return to schooling. Schooling as a signal. On the job training and life long learning.
