This article surveys the literature and adds to the evidence on the impact of employment protection legislation on employment. While stringent employment protection contributes to less turnover and job reallocation, the effects on aggregate employment and unemployment over the business cycle are more uncertain. Exploitation of partial reforms and the use of micro data in recent research appear not to have affected results regarding employment and unemployment in any systematic way. Labour market prospects of young people and other marginal groups seem to worsen as a consequence of increased stringency of the legislation. It is debatable whether marginal groups have gained much from the widespread policy strategy to liberalize regulations of temporary employment and leave regulations of regular employment intact. My own analysis suggests that increased stringency of regulations for regular work is associated with a higher incidence of involuntary temporary employment, particularly among the young.

The paper analyses the impact of employment protection legislation for permanent and temporary workers on total employment, permanent and temporary employment. Using panel data techniques, we investigate whether the level and the changes in employment protection for permanent and temporary workers affect the dynamics of total salaried employment, permanent employment, and temporary employment. The results of this paper contribute to a better understanding of the determinants of the evolution of employment and of the determinants of the quality of employment. ; Ministerio de Economia y Competitividal/Grant No. : RT120018-099225-B-100
